Cloud seeding, a process in which chemicals such as silver iodide and frozen carbon dioxide are introduced by aircraft
into clouds to promote rainfall, was widely used in the 20th
century. Recent research has questioned its effectiveness [“Reassessment of Rain Enhancement Experiments and Operations
in Israel Including Synoptic Considerations,” Journal of Atmospheric Research (2010, Vol. 97(4), pp. 513–525)]. An experiment was performed by randomly assigning 52 clouds to be
seeded or not. The amount of rain generated was then measured
in acre-feet. Here are the data for the unseeded and seeded clouds:
