Rain stimulation by artificial means
Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-008371
The deliberate attempt to enhance or initiate precipitation from clouds through human intervention. This involves techniques such as cloud seeding, where agents like silver iodide or dry ice are dispersed into clouds to alter their microphysical processes. The goal is to encourage the growth of ice crystals or water droplets to a size sufficient for falling as rain.
