A study of properties of hygroscopic pyrotechnic compositions for inducing artificial rainfall

Abstract

A technique developed for studying the efficiency of hygroscopic pyrotechnic compositions that are used to stimulate artificial rainfall is described. The technique is based on a setup for testing the pyrotechnic compositions used to prevent hail. The results of studying the hygroscopic pyrotechnic compounds, such as LOZA-2, which were produced by Stroiproject LTD (Bulgaria) and provided for the research, are presented. It is shown that these hygroscopic pyrotechnic compositions are an effective tool for impacting a cloud environment in order to stimulate the formation of precipitation.
