January 2020 cloud seeding experiment in the United Arab Emirates


A cloud seeding experiment conducted by the UAE National Center of Meteorology & Seismology as part of The UAE Research Program for Rain Enhancement Science.
On January 9 2020 the National Center of Meteorology & Seismology began five cloud seeding flights in the late afternoon. The center was testing a new technique and material developed by Prof. Linda Zou which “elongates the condensation process 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.”
