Rain seeding, also known as cloud seeding, is a weather modification technique used to enhance precipitation in clouds, typically to increase rainfall or snowfall. The process involves the introduction of various substances into clouds to encourage the formation and growth of ice crystals or water droplets, which can lead to increased precipitation. The most commonly used substances for cloud seeding include silver iodide, potassium iodide, and calcium chloride.

There are two primary methods of cloud seeding:

Cold Cloud Seeding: This method is used for clouds with temperatures below freezing. Silver iodide or other ice-nucleating agents are dispersed into the cloud. These particles serve as nuclei around which ice crystals can form. As more ice crystals develop and grow, they eventually become heavy enough to fall as snow or rain.

Warm Cloud Seeding: This method is used for clouds with temperatures above freezing. Cloud seeding agents such as potassium iodide or calcium chloride are introduced into the cloud to encourage the growth of larger water droplets, which are more likely to collide and coalesce into raindrops. Warm cloud seeding is generally used in regions with warmer climates.

The effectiveness of cloud seeding can vary depending on several factors, including the type of cloud, atmospheric conditions, and the availability of suitable clouds for seeding. It is not a guaranteed method for producing precipitation, and its success is often subject to natural variations in weather patterns.

Cloud seeding is used for various purposes, including:

Agriculture: Farmers may use cloud seeding to increase rainfall in drought-prone regions to support crop growth.

Water Resource Management: Municipalities and water authorities use cloud seeding to augment water supplies in reservoirs and aquifers.

Snowpack Enhancement: In areas that rely on snowmelt for water supply, cloud seeding can be used to increase snowfall in mountainous regions.

Weather Modification: Some regions use cloud seeding for weather modification to mitigate the impact of hailstorms or to disperse fog at airports.

It's worth noting that cloud seeding remains a subject of ongoing research and debate, and its environmental and ecological impacts are areas of concern. Critics argue that it may have unintended consequences and should be used with caution.

The decision to implement cloud seeding programs is typically made by local authorities or organizations involved in water resource management and weather modification, and it often requires careful planning, monitoring, and evaluation.

1. Cell therapy for melanoma The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the first cellular therapy for aggressive forms of melanoma. The treatment, called Amtagvi, is "designed to fight off advanced forms of melanoma by extracting and replicating T cells derived from a patient's tumor," said NPR. These cells are also called tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL). T cells are integral in the immune system but can become "dysfunctional inside tumors." "The approval of Amtagvi represents the culmination of scientific and clinical research efforts leading to a novel T cell immunotherapy for patients with limited treatment options," Dr. Peter Marks, the director of the FDA's Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, said in a statement. The treatment won't work for everyone, but research by the National Institutes of Health showed a "56% response rate among patients with melanoma, and 24% of patients had a complete disappearance of

    Wind turbines could help  capture carbon dioxide  while providing power Wind turbines could offer a double whammy in the fight against climate change. Besides harnessing wind to generate clean energy, turbines may help to funnel carbon dioxide to systems that pull the greenhouse gas out of the air ( SN: 8/10/21 ). Researchers say their simulations show that wind turbines can drag dirty air from above a city or a smokestack into the turbines’ wakes. That boosts the amount of CO 2  that makes it to machines that can remove it from the atmosphere. The researchers plan to describe their simulations and a wind tunnel test of a scaled-down system at a meeting of the American Physical Society’s Division of Fluid Dynamics in Indianapolis on November 21. Addressing climate change will require dramatic reductions in the amount of carbon dioxide that humans put into the air — but that alone won’t be enough ( SN: 3/10/22 ). One part of the solution could be direct air capture systems that remo
