Can I control the weather manually now?

In fact, human beings have mastered some methods to control the weather, such as artificial precipitation enhancement, artificial cloud elimination and rain reduction, artificial hail suppression, artificial fog elimination and so on.

Artificial precipitation enhancement is the most common type of weather modification in life. Under favorable weather conditions, it is a scientific means to increase part of rainfall in addition to natural rainfall by means of manual intervention.

Artificial rainfall can effectively carry out agricultural drought resistance, solve the problems of water consumption for people and livestock and forest fire prevention, and rationally develop and utilize cloud water resources in the air.

Experiments of weather modification have been widely carried out in some countries. With the deepening of experimental research, we gradually realize the complexity of this work:

① Weather modification must meet certain natural conditions, for example, supercooled water droplets must exist in the cloud to make Leng Yun catalysis work;

(2) Because the dynamic process and microphysical process in the cloud are very complex and interact with each other, the same sowing method may produce completely different effects under different natural conditions, and the sowing results in different occasions are often very different;

(3) Because the natural variability of weather phenomena is very large, and the change caused by artificial seeding is very small, it is difficult to distinguish man-made change from natural change (that is, effect test). Therefore, people often have different views and evaluations on the actual effect of weather modification.
