How we Seed the Clouds

Cloud Seeding is a scientifically validated method of weather modification, involving the controlled dispersion of seeding materials into clouds. These materials induce changes in microphysical processes within the cloud, such as introducing additional condensation or ice nuclei or modifying relative humidity through hygroscopic particles.

These techniques offer versatility, allowing for the augmentation of precipitation (rain or snowfall) within targeted areas, as well as hail suppression and fog dispersion. Our clients’ objectives range from managing water supplies to safeguarding crops or industrial facilities to enhancing weather conditions for winter sports and events.

The methods and materials that we use are determined by the goals of the project and unique environmental factors affecting each program.  Our product range caters to diverse scenarios, enabling application within both warm and cold cloud environments.

Cloud Seeding Application

Icon number 1

Cloud-Top Seeding by Aircraft

This extremely effective all-weather method uses light aircraft to transport BIP and ejectable flares, and aerosol generators above into the cloud to release seeding materials along the flight path.

Areal Cloud-Base Seeding

This widely successful method uses Cloud Seeding Aircraft or Smart Cloud Seeding Drones to deliver seeding materials to the updrafts that feed the clouds where the particles are naturally dispersed.

Ground-based Cloud Seeding

Flare Trees are superior for seeding mountainous terrain, while Smart Balloons are the best for seeding areas where natural updrafts may not occur. These methods support both cold and warm environments.

Common Applications

Combat Drought. Augment freshwater availability and increase reserves, support agriculture, increase hydropower output and improve water security. 

Recent science agrees that increases in precipitation of more than 10 % can be expected.

Increase freshwater reserves, combat future drought, support and improve recreational conditions.

Recent science agrees that increases in precipitation of more than 10 % can be expected, and in many cases, even greater increase is possible.

Prevent damage to crops, buildings, machinery, property or industrial products by reducing large hail stone formation in storms.

Hail Suppression has been scientifically validated to reduce damage from severe hailstorms by as much as 50 %.

Improve visibility and ensure safe operation of airports, roads, tunnels, and industrial facilities by clearing fog and low-hanging clouds. Commonly applied in populated or industrial areas, and transportation hubs and routes.

Fog dispersion is localized with immediate onset.  This method can also be used to clear some kinds of pollution.
