Hebrew rainmakers show success in cloud seeding
Tel Aviv reports two Hebrew University scientists Yehuda Neumann and Avraham Gagin have increased rainfall in northern Israel by over 15 percent using silver iodide cloud seeding. Their instruments identify ideal clouds and wind, yielding about one extra inch of rain per six inches before the experiment, with plans to extend to central and southern Israel.
