Diagram Of A Silver Iodide Generator In Action
A ground silver iodide generator releases billions of particles per minute to seed clouds. It nucleates at higher temperatures to form ice crystals, increasing rainfall when turbulence and updrafts lift particles into super cooled clouds. Proper supervision by an experienced meteorologist prevents reduced rainfall from over seeding and ensures optimal seeding sites and timing.
