Atmospheric water resource management

Cloud seeding technology plays a critical role in managing atmospheric water resources by enhancing precipitation and optimizing naturally water availability.

At Selerys, we offer tailored cloud seeding solutions to meet the specific needs of various institutions, ensuring optimal outcomes for our clients.

Water resource management: rain enhancement, snow enhancement

Cloud seeding plays a critical role in water resource management by increasing the availability of freshwater and snow packs in reservoirs and watersheds. This technology is essential for regions experiencing water scarcity, helping to sustain water supplies for domestic, industrial, hydroelectric, and agricultural use. Our cloud seeding technologies ensure that water resources are effectively managed, contributing to community sustainability and resilience.

Hail risk mitigation

Hailstorms cause significant damage to crops, properties, and infrastructures. Selerys’ cloud seeding solutions for hail risk mitigation involve targeted interventions that reduce the impact of hailstorms by modifying the microphysical properties of clouds. These interventions are designed to be punctual, addressing specific hailstorm threats as they arise, thereby protecting valuable assets from hail damage without permanent alteration of weather patterns.

Fog dispersal

Fog significantly reduces visibility, making landings difficult. Only a few advanced aircraft can perform auto landings in such conditions, and only at airports equipped with the necessary technology. Ice fog also covers taxiways and runways with a thin ice layer, increasing collision risks. Selerys’ fog solution dispersion mitigates low visibility hazards using drones and/or balloons to spray a fog-dispersing agent, enhancing natural precipitation processes. This solution is custom-designed for each airport, operates remotely, and improves prevention of new fog formations as long as needed. This very ecological and cost-effective fog dispersal solution optimize airport operations.

Cloud seeding
tools

Cloud seeding software

Our cloud seeding software suite is essential for planning, executing, and monitoring cloud seeding operations. These software tools provide detailed data analysis and real-time monitoring, enabling precise and reactive control over seeding activities. By integrating various meteorological data sources, our software enhances decision-making processes, ensuring the effectiveness and efficiency of cloud seeding operations.

Cloud seeding balloons

Balloon-based cloud seeding is one of the most effective and ecological methods for targeting specific cloud formations. Selerys’ patented cloud seeding ballon with GPS tracking provide the only aerial cloud seeding solution with full freedom to operate 24/7, day and night. This technology allows for simultaneous multi-targeting, addressing 100% of cloud seeding opportunities. Our balloons carry seeding agents directly into the clouds, ensuring accurate and efficient seeding. This method is particularly useful in remote or hard-to-reach areas, providing a flexible and reliable solution that maximizes the impact of each seeding operation.

Cloud seeding drones

Drones offer a modern and innovative approach to cloud seeding. Our cloud seeding drones, equipped with advanced navigation systems and autonomous decision-making tools, allow for precise and targeted operations. Drones provide flexibility to reach specific cloud base regions and can be deployed quickly in response to changing weather conditions. Selerys’ drone technology ensures efficient transfer of cloud seeding agent with minimal environmental impact.
