How it is possible to produce artificial rain by spreading dry ice in very cold clouds?
The need to develop and improve rain-making techniques in terms of design, operation, monitoring and evaluation by giving them a more scientific character is today's need.
This includes using computers to study cloud formations and help the rain-making operations achieve the goals of the project. The role of weather modification, or rain-making, is an important component in water resource management.
The process involved in artificial rain-making involves three easy-to-understand stages. The first stage is agitation. That is using chemicals to stimulate the air mass upwind of the target area to rise and form rain clouds.
The chemicals used during this stage are calcium chloride calcium carbide, calcium oxide, a compound of salt and urea, or a compound of urea and ammonium nitrate. These compounds are capable of absorbing water vapour from the air mass, thus stimulating the condensation process.
The second stage is called building-up stage. Here the cloud mass is built up using chemicals such as kitchen salt, the T.1 formula, urea, ammonium nitrate, dry ice, and occasionally also calcium chloride to increase nuclei which also increase the density of the clouds. In the third stage of bombardment chemicals such as super-cool agents: silver iodide and dry ice are used to reach the most unbalanced status which builds up large beads of water (Nuclei) and makes them fall down as raindrops.
In planning every stage a high degree of expertise and experience is required, in selecting the types and amounts of chemicals to be used, while taking into consideration weather conditions, topographical conditions, wind direction and velocity as well as the location or delimitation of the area for chemical seeding. Several other ideas are also involved in rain making. Rockets containing rain-making chemicals can be fired into the clouds either from the ground or from aircraft.
A jet of rain-making chemicals is shot from a highly pressurised cannister directly into the cloud base, so as to coerce clouds which normally hang above mountain tops to cluster up and rain on the mountain or their slopes.
Rain-making chemicals are added to super-cooled clouds, i.e., those at altitudes above 18,000 metres, to stimulate the formation of ice crystals in the cloud or cloud cluster.

What else can I help you with?
What kind of clouds do convection current produce?
Convection currents typically produce cumulus clouds, which form when warm air rises and cools, leading to the condensation of water vapor and the formation of fluffy, puffy clouds.
How do clouds produce sound?
Clouds do not produce sound. Sound is created by vibrations in the air or another medium. Thunder, for example, is caused by the rapid expansion and contraction of air around a lightning bolt.
How many clouds are there in the sky at the moment?
It is not possible to determine the exact number of clouds in the sky at any given moment as it constantly changes.
Is plasma in lightning?
Yes, lightning is a sudden electrostatic discharge that occurs within clouds or between clouds and the ground. This discharge generates an extremely hot and ionized gas known as plasma, which emits light and heat.
What are the different layers of clouds in the Earth's atmosphere?
The different layers of clouds in the Earth's atmosphere are classified into three main types: high clouds, middle clouds, and low clouds. High clouds are found at altitudes of 20,000 to 40,000 feet and include cirrus, cirrostratus, and cirrocumulus clouds. Middle clouds are located between 6,500 to 20,000 feet and consist of altocumulus and altostratus clouds. Low clouds are found below 6,500 feet and include stratus, stratocumulus, and nimbostratus clouds.
When was Music for Artificial Clouds created?
Music for Artificial Clouds was created on 2004-03-16.
What is sprayed on clouds for artificial rain?
silver iodide is sprayed on the clouds
What are thunderhead clouds that produce precipitation?
cumulonimbus clouds
What two types of clouds produce rain?
Nimbostratus clouds and cumulonimbus clouds are the two main types of clouds that produce rain. Nimbostratus clouds are thick, dark clouds that cover the sky and bring steady, prolonged rain showers. Cumulonimbus clouds are large, towering clouds associated with thunderstorms, which can produce heavy rain showers, lightning, and thunder.
Do clouds always produce precipitation?
No, usually only Nimbus clouds produce noticeable precipitation.
Which group of clouds produce rain?
The names of the groups of clouds that can produce rain are nimbostratus and cumulonimbus. The nimbostratus clouds are the ones we see that become very dark and produce a lot of rain or snow. The cumulonimbus clouds are responsible for lighter rain and thunderstorms.
Large thunderhead clouds that produce precipitation are called?
cumulonimbus clouds
Do cumulus clouds produce rain?
Cumulus clouds can develop into rain clouds, but they do not typically produce rain on their own. When cumulus clouds grow larger and combine with other clouds, they can form cumulonimbus clouds that produce precipitation.
Do produce rain or snowcumulonimbus and nimbostratus clouds?
I believe this question was intended to be: "Do cumulonimbus and nimbostratus clouds produce rain or snow?" The answer to this question is: "Yes, both types of clouds CAN produce precipitation, including rain and/or snow, depending on the temperature in the atmosphere."
Nimbo clouds produce what type of weather?
Nimbo clouds produce rain. Nimbostratus clouds are full of water, so sunlight cannot get through it, that is why the sky is dark when there are storm clouds above.
What type of clouds produce endless rain?
Rain clouds...obviouly!
Large thunderhead clouds that produce precipitation are called what kind of clouds?
Cumulonimbulus clods.
