Increasing Precipitation
The most common application of cloud seeding is to increase precipitation,
possible with both warm and cold clouds. There are two primary methods employed to
stimulate precipitation. One, hygroscopic seeding, affects warm cloud processes. The
other, glaciogenic seeding initiates cold cloud processes.
Though occasionally both techniques may be helpful, in most cases one can be
utilized more effectively than the other. In addition, either technology can be applied from
the surface (ground-based) or from an aircraft. Weather Modification, Inc. can help you
decide which method will be most effective.
