The Suppression of Lightning by Rocket Triggering Rain from Thunder-cloud (Report of The Experiment Triggering Rain by Rocket)

Abstract

The experiment triggering rain by rocket scattering AgI vapor in cloud has been carried out from five years ago. The triggering effect has been observed sometime on the rader-echo with vertical cross section of raining space centered at the launching point of rocket. In the summer of 1999, the rockets were shot to thunder cloud, then heavy rain was triggered and also lightning was suppressed for a while.
