  • Patent number: 11874428
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for determining a seeding effect area and a non-seeding effect area in accordance with a wind system according to the present invention can use numerical simulation data, radar precipitation data, and ground precipitation data to systematically specify the steps of determining the seeding effect area and the non-seeding effect area in accordance with the wind system. Moreover, the method according to the present invention can easily divide the seeding effect area and the non-seeding effect area according to the physical properties of clouds and quantitatively verify the effectiveness of artificial precipitation experiments conducted by purpose in the future.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: January 16, 2024
    Assignee: National Institute of Meteorological Sciences
    Inventors: Yonghun Ro, Ki-Ho Chang, Sanghee Chae, Joo-Wan Cha, Yunkyu Im, Woonseon Jung
  • Patent number: 11782187
    Abstract: A method is provided of calculating the total amount of artificial precipitation in a seeded area compared to a non-seeded area, which is capable of increasing the reliability of quantitative determination of seeding effect, observation data, and numerical model prediction data obtained from artificial precipitation experiments, of increasing the amount of water resources through weather modification experiments, of accomplishing various effects (drought reduction, forest fire prevention, fine dust reduction, fog reduction, hail suppression, etc.
