CAN YOU BELIEVE ? IT WAS AN ARTIFICIAL RAIN !! DONE BY THE METEOROLOGICAL DEPARTMENT AT THE NATIONAL CENTRE OF METEOROLOGY AND SEISMOLOGY (NCMS) TO REMOVE THE AIR POLLUTION ON DUBAI'S ATMOSPHERE.. IT IS CALLED 'CLOUD SEEDING' A LATEST TECHNOLOGY TO CUSTOMISE WEATHER...CLOUD SEEDING, A FORM OF WEATHER MODIFICATION, IS THE ATTEMPT TO CHANGE THE AMOUNT OR TYPE OF PRECIPITATION THAT FALLS FROM CLOUDS, BY DISPERSING SUBSTANCES INTO THE AIR THAT SERVE AS CLOUD CONDENSATION OR ICE NUCLEI. THE USUAL INTENT IS TO INCREASE PRECIPITATION, BUT HAIL SUPPRESSION IS ALSO WIDELY PRACTICED. SILVER IODIDE AND DRY ICE ARE THE MOST COMMONLY USED SUBSTANCES IN CLOUD SEEDING
Wowwwwwww.. Sunkan Jii that was an Awesome Pic...... :cool2: I have studied about Artifical Rain long time back.. Thanx for Sharing...
Dear Sunkan Mam, Thanks for sharing such an informative and interesting info with us.I really wonder where do u get such interesting pieces of info. Regards, Spandhana
Dear Sunkan, We were pleasantly surprised 2 months when it rained for only about 15 minutes. By the time we realised what happened, the rain had stoppedbonk. The next day we read in the newspaper that it was rain by cloud seeding!! Glad you could get hold of a picture. Regards USHA
get hold of some nice yahoo sites and it will come to your mail box and your curious mind will pick the best to share here..sunkan
vow usha, it is nice to hear u have experienced that stuff there and we got the pictures here...thanks pal for commenting about it here..sunkan
It was a nice photo Sunkan!But if I remember correct, 'cloud seeding' was discussed and tried in Tamilnadu,when there was an acute drought, during MGR or Jayalalitha as the CM way back.It was not successful.
Sunkan, I have heard about 'artificial rain' but seen it here...through your post.. I think as Kaluputti pointed out they even tried in Chennai.. sriniketan
