Rimmer Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Local officials witness royal rainmaking efforts PATTAYA:--Chonburi and Sattahip officials gained a first-hand look at how the Royal Artificial Rain Creation Project is working to relieve the region’s drought problem. Gov. Khomsan Ekachai and Sattahip District Chief Parinya Phothisut joined civil servants at an Aug. 17 meeting and lecture about the drought and efforts to create precipitation by royal rainmakers. Wasana Wongrath, director of the rainmaking operations team, briefed the officials on the project, which is being run out of the Naval Aviation Station in Ban Chang. They also watched a demonstration of the Royal Artificial Rain Creation Project, which uses Caravan 1921 and 1914 aircraft. Both planes were loaded with chemicals and sodium chloride that are released into clouds at 6,000 feet. The demonstration was performed on a bad day, as there weren’t many clouds, but the artificial rain would have more success at night. - See more at: http://www.pattayamail.com/news/local-officials-witness-royal-rainmaking-efforts-50613#sthash.sUuoH163.dpuf -- Pattaya Mail 2015-08-28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chang_paarp Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 This is a technology that is viewed with some skepticism in most parts of the world. It relies on almost perfect rain weather to present to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
