Lightning suppression

Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-006957

Any attempt to reduce the frequency or intensity of lightning discharges, typically through cloud seeding techniques. This involves introducing materials like silver iodide into thunderstorms to alter their microphysical processes and potentially inhibit charge separation. The effectiveness of lightning suppression remains a subject of scientific debate and ongoing research.
