    Abstract:

    China has produced many good research results and abundant experience in the practice of artificial precipitation enhancement. Published in this Special Issue are articles describing successful experience that has general applicability and other articles describing practical possibilities for more scientific and effective operation. Here we first review and discuss these successful experiences: The climatological statistics of weather systems and the regions that are favorable for artificial precipitation enhancement, pre-application methods of selecting cloud-seeding targets, analysis of the relevant mechanism and numerical simulations, the characteristics and spectral distributions of nuclei in both cloud and rain droplets, and new findings regarding novel materials and technologies for more effective cloud seeding. Second, we review practical possibilities for further development: The application of engineering and natural cybernetics, which make possible an entire engineering system consisting of observation, prediction, operation, and evaluation and provide direct evaluation of precipitation enhancement; greater attention to convective warm cloud seeding; more scientific, rigorous, and systematic analysis of practical experience and close meshing of research into the mechanism with practical applications; and planning for combining weather modification and hydraulic engineering to achieve more effective use of four-dimensional fresh water resources. In addition, we briefly review other aspects of weather modification, such as hail suppression and fog dissipation, and other topics in natural cybernetics.
