Cloud seeding is the process of sending tiny particles, like salt or Silver iodide, into a cloud, which encourages it to rain and snow even more than it would have originally. Cloud seeding is ...

The first way that people tried to make “real” snow was by seeding natural clouds with silver iodide. The goal was to facilitate moisture in clouds turning into falling snow crystals. If you could ...

"This can be done by using aircraft to drop small particles (like silver iodide) into clouds," the BBC said. "Water vapor can then condense more easily and turn into rain." The idea was conceived ...

Utah has experimented with cloud seeding for decades, using ground devices and airplanes to disperse silver iodide and liquid propane to pad moisture statistics in one of the nation’s driest states.

In the 1950s, various government and commercial groups began exploring whether it would be possible to "seed" clouds with silver iodide smoke and other substances in order to make rain and control ...

The Savannah hurricane spooked the GE legal department all over again, so Langmuir headed out to arid New Mexico and began seeding clouds with silver iodide smoke. The work lasted around two years ...

Meteorologists identify clouds containing subfreezing liquid water droplets before activating generators that release silver iodide particles into air currents entering these clouds, he explained.
