Laser Technology to Guide Rainfall to a Particular Region

Subramaniam TK

Abstract

Rain bearing clouds can be effectively guided to a specific region during monsoon or other seasons so that rainfall shall be equitably distributed without creating drought situations. Lasers sent into the lower troposphere region with intensities sufficient to create a temperature gradient and thereby creating a low pressure area in a specific region can invite rain bearing clouds to a region opposite to where heat is generated by laser effect, so as to bring convective rainfall during a season
