Cloud seeding
Cloud seeding is a weather modification technique that involves dispersing substances into clouds to stimulate precipitation. This technique is based on the idea that precipitation formation can be stimulated by altering the microphysical conditions of clouds, i.e. the amount and size of water or ice particles within the clouds.
