Studies of the Artificail Control of Precipitation Relative to the Problem of Extinguishing Forest Fires,

Abstract

Studies have shown the possibility of using artificial precipitation for extinguishing forest fires, and it has been subjected to broad experimental verification. The method of extinguishing forest fires with artificially-induced precipitation is applicable only when there is sufficiently thick convective cloud cover over the operations regions. Therefore, it is not universal and cannot be used as a substitute for ground methods. The proposed method is very economical.
