Cloud Seeding Project Over L.A. Monday

This week's storm offered a good opportunity for "the first go-round for cloud seeding" this season, DPW spokesman Steve Frasher said.

NAWC has set up land-based generators in 10 locations between Sylmar and Pacoima, Fraser said. Only some of those generators were used Sunday night, as weather conditions were not ideal in all areas.


The generators shoot silver iodide into the clouds, creating ice particles. Water vapor freezes onto those particles which fall as rain.
