"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 ...

The overarching goal is to understand the natural dynamical and microphysical processes by which precipitation forms and evolves within orographic winter storms and to determine the physical processes ...

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.

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 ...

Cloud Seeding It is now five years since dry ice was first used to make rain. An account of the present state of the technique, with special reference to the sowing of silver iodide for large ...

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 ...
