A cloud seeding experiment conducted by the UAE National Center of Meteorology & Seismology (NCM) as part of the The UAE Research Program for Rain Enhancement Science.
On January 9th, 2020 the National Center of Meteorology & Seismology (NCM) began five cloud seeding flights in the late afternoon.[1] The NCM was testing a new technique and material developed by Prof. Linda Zou which “elongates the condensation process [inside clouds] as it enlarges the cloud droplets more than the conventional material… This results in larger numbers of water droplets during rainfall amounting to up to triple times the old method.”[2]
