cloudseeding is going to be gamechanger to many countries.
Cloud seeding is a type of weather modification that aims to change the amount or type of precipitation that falls from clouds by dispersing substances into the air that serve as cloud condensation or ice nuclei, which alter the microphysical processes within the cloud.
who invented it ?
Vincent J.Schaefer, a self-taught chemist who invented cloud "seeding" and created the first artificially induced snow and rainfall, died on Sunday at a hospital in Schenectady, N.y
how it began?
.In the UAE, cloud seeding first began as in 2010 as a project by weather authorities to create artificial rain. The project, which began in July 2010 and cost US$11 million, has been successful in creating rain storms in the Dubai and Abu Dhabi deserts.
Why cloud seeding is important?
Clouds in the atmosphere have two masses of air – the upper draft and the lower draft. ... For cloud seeding in the UAE, the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) targets the dense clouds moving over the Arabian Gulf, in an attempt to increase rainfall yield by at least 15 per cent.
why in the news ?
Dubai has been experiencing the wrath of blazing sun this summer season, with the temperature crossing 50-degree Celsius mark in the city recently. To cool things down, UAE's Center of Meteorology has come up with a unique solution -- artificial (or fake) rains. Dubai has now been witnessing heavy downpours on its highways.The artificial rainfall has been created using cloud seeding, according to UAE's Center of Meteorology
more about cloudseeding?
1. Cloud seeding helps increase the volume of rainfall in a region.
2. The aeroplanes release salt flares into the clouds to increase rainfall
3. The nano technology cloud seeding procedures in UAE are expected to bring better rain clouds and more rainfall.
disadvantages of cloudseeding ?
definitely a lot of water is used
it is expensive to hire aeroplanes
it lasts only for a less time
so this is a short and quick info about cloud seeding . hope it was informative
if u like this blog do the same .................
