TO A PROBLEM OF ARTIFICIAL STIMULATION OF CONVECTION IN ATMOSPHERE by Marina Aleksandrovna Simakhina, Valentina Ivanovna Volkova, Arthur Robertovich Zakinyan, Anastasia Yurievna Didenko

“…Impacts on meteorological processes make sense, i.e. can practically be realized only on unstable states of clouds or the atmosphere, the potential energy of which can be realized in the right direction due to much lower energy costs. In other words, it is possible to artificially create upward movements in the atmosphere with a length sufficient to develop or intensify the processes of cloud and sedimentation, currently only using the potential energy of the convective instability of the atmosphere. …”
