Areas needing studies

The Bureau has negotiated contracts with educational institutions for study of basic phenomena related to weather modification. Industry can assist these studies through development of instrumentation and cloud seeding devices. Other areas of interest are: (1) More efficient nucleating agents.

(2) Equipment and techniques for tracing movement of the nucleating agent from the generator to the cloud.

(3) Instruments for detecting nuclei in rain, snow, and hail samples.

(4) Low-cost discriminator to show distribution of water droplets in suspension by size classes, and to disclose the time of precipitation formation.
