Abstract
The author propose a new method for cloud modification that does not involve rockets and aircrafts. It is based on some works in the field of protecting agricultural crops from hail using the rocket technology, as well as the achievements in the cloud modification using ground-based generators in Brazil. The new method is founded on the experimental data and theoretical calculations of the behavior of ice-nucleating particles in case of their generation near the ground and at the height close to the level of free convection during air-mass and frontal precipitation-forming processes. It is proposed to introduce ice-nucleating particles to the level of convective flux formation so that then the particles enter the area of origin and growth of hail in a cloud cell on their own. In the rocket technology, the identification of this area is one of the major difficulties of radiolocation. The proposed technique provides the ice-nucleating particle delivery to the hail area without any use of radiolocation. The method also allows avoiding safety problems arising from launching rockets over densely populated areas.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
