    Cloud seeding: Making fake rain in Bangkok

    von PM-Redaktion on | Keine Kommentare

    In an effort to tackle the serious air pollution problem in Bangkok, the Department of Royal Rainmaking and Agricultural Aviation plans to deploy rainmaking planes to seed clouds and create ‘fake’ rain (it’s actually real rain but induced artificially). “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 micro-physical processes within the cloud. The usual intent is to increase precipitation (rain or snow), but hail and fog suppression are also widely practiced in airports where harsh weather conditions are experienced.” – Wikipedia Planned to begin today (Tuesday), the cloud seeding plan will either be successful or not, depending on wind and humidity levels in the skies around the capital.
