IITM starts CAIPEEX agreement

Q.  IITM has studied rain formation in clouds through which research programme?
- Published on 05 May 16

a. Cloud Aerosol Interaction and Precipitation Enhancement Experiment
b. CAIPEEX
c. Both of the above
d. None of the above

ANSWER: CAIPEEX
 
The Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM) is putting its effort in understanding the rain formation in clouds through a research program called Cloud Aerosol Interaction and Precipitation Enhancement Experiment (CAIPEEX). Under this experiment, air borne observations are taken through randomized cloud seeding and the impact is recorded.
  • The CAIPEEX program uses a combination of radar, other ground based instruments and airborne platforms along with high resolution numerical modeling to plan and conduct the seeding experiment.
  • The area for cloud seeding is determined based on convective potential.
