Reclamation sponsored several cloud-seeding research projects under the umbrella of Project Skywater from 1964 to 1988, and NOAA conducted the Atmospheric Modification Program from 1979 to 1993. The sponsored projects were carried out in several states and two countries (Thailand and Morocco), studying both winter and summer cloud seeding.
Operation Popeye / Sober Popeye (Project Controlled Weather Popeye / Motorpool / Intermediary-Compatriot) was a military cloud-seeding project carried out by the U.S. Air Force during the Vietnam War in 1967–1972.
The cloud-seeding program in the UAE was initiated in the late 1990s, as one of the first Middle Eastern countries to utilize this technique. [11] In 2005, the UAE launched the UAE Prize for Excellence in Advancing the Science and Practice of Weather Modification in collaboration with the World Meteorological Organization [ 12 ] (WMO).
Cloud seeding is a weather modification concept that attempts to draw more rain or snow out of a cloud than would occur naturally. Cloud droplets don’t form spontaneously.
As cloud seeding needed supercooled water to function, the lack of supercooled water meant that seeding would have no effect. Those observations called the basis for Project Stormfury into question. In the middle of 1983, Stormfury was finally canceled after the hypothesis guiding its efforts was invalidated. [34]
A United Arab Emirates government task force said it had not carried out cloud seeding missions in the run-up to the heavy storms that caused flooding in Dubai.
The county is using a cloud-seeding program for the fourth year in a row. Here’s how it works. SLO County hopes to wring more rain out of the sky by cloud seeding again over Lopez Lake
Cloud seeding can be done by ground generators (left) or planes. Cloud seeding is a common technique to enhance precipitation. Cloud seeding entails spraying small particles, such as silver iodide, onto clouds to attempt to affect their development, usually with the goal of increasing precipitation. Cloud seeding only works to the extent that ...
