North American Weather Modification Council

For what purposes is weather modification practiced?

Weather modification, commonly referred to as cloud seeding, is currently used to increase precipitation from clouds, reduce hail from thunderstorms, and eliminate fogs that reduce visibility, usually at busy airports.

What are clouds seeded with?

Clouds can be seeded with a number of different types of agents: silver iodide, liquid propane, dry ice (solid carbon dioxide), and various salt compounds.

What methods are used to deliver seeding material to suitable clouds?

Seeding is typically done either by specially-equipped aircraft or via ground-based generators at higher elevations in mountainous areas.

specially-equipped aircraft, spraying chemicals into the atmosphere lol
