  3. Stratospheric aerosol injection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratospheric_aerosol...

    Stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) is a proposed method of solar geoengineering (or solar radiation modification) to reduce global warming. This would introduce aerosols into the stratosphere to create a cooling effect via global dimming and increased albedo, which occurs naturally from volcanic winter. [1]

  4. Weather modification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weather_modification

    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 ...

  8. Rainmaking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainmaking

    Rainmaking, also known as artificial precipitation, artificial rainfall and pluviculture, is the act of attempting to artificially induce or increase precipitation, usually to stave off drought or the wider global warming. [1] According to the clouds' different physical properties, this can be done using airplanes or rockets to sow to the ...

    Cloud seeding is also referred to as man made precipitation and artificial rain making. [1] The United Arab Emirates is one of the first countries in the Persian Gulf region to use cloud seeding technology. UAE scientists use cloud seeding technology to supplement the country's water insecurity, which stems from the extremely hot climate. [2]
