Experts conducted 12 tests in different environmental conditions, from clear skies to different types of low-level cloud to compare the effects of seeding operations.
The first phase of the cloud-seeding project was conducted last year and came after three years of theoretical, lab-scale, and numerical modelling work. All photos: NCM
Scientists also looked at how volcanic activity produces rainclouds to explore how similar theories could be applied to cloud seeding.
The process works via a jet engine composite system that releases a high-velocity stream of aerosol particles into the atmosphere to encourage development of rain clouds.
