The Truth about Cloud Seeding

Cloud seeding helps existing weather systems create precipitation more efficiently.

Our technology works with existing clouds; precipitation cannot be caused if no clouds are there to begin with.

How to make it rain

Clouds form naturally when water in the atmosphere condenses or freezes around dust or salt particles.

Cloud seeding leverages this natural process by introducing particles with similar crystal structures to ice.

1 Delivery

Delivery

Cloud seeds are released into clouds with the ideal droplet or ice crystal growth conditions.

2 Nucleation

Nucleation

The water droplets that comprise clouds attract to the cloud seeds and freeze onto them.

3 Growth

Growth

The resulting water droplets or ice crystals grow at the expense of surrounding droplets.

4 Precipitation

Precipitation

Once the water droplets or ice crystals grow heavy enough, they fall out of the cloud as precipitation.
