Hail cloud seeding optimization on the basis of theoretica research in spreading of crystallizing agents and their influence on cloud medium

Abstract

The aim of the present paper is to optimize seeding of hail clouds; to refine patterns of cloud seeding according to stage of the cloud formation; to specify required amount of aerosol particles in seeding facilities (rockets and projectiles); and to optimize discreteness of intro-duction of point sources (projectiles) and linear sources (rockets).

For this purpose, there was carried out a theoretical simulation of the process of crystal-lizing agent aerosol spreading in clouds of the Cu cong type after seeding made accord-ing to the hail suppression technology by means of antihail rockets of new generation “Alan-2”, “Alazan’-6”, and “As” and by means of artillery projectiles “El’brus-4” as well as a theoretical simulation of interaction of crystallizing particles and cloud medium.
