weather modification(weather control). The term usually refers to cloud seeding activities, but can also include constructing windbreaks, dissipating fog by the forceful addition of heat or water spray, or preventing frost formation on crops by cloud spray, heating, or mixing processes. Inadvertent weather modification refers to accidental weather effects resulting from the release of greenhouse gases, aerosols, and dust, or changes in albedo or surface properties of the earth associated with urban, industrial, or agricultural activity.  5, record 3, English, - weather%20modification

It includes the Global Atmosphere Watch, which integrates monitoring and research activities carried out under the Global Ozone Observing System(GO3OS) and the Background Air Pollution Monitoring Network(BAPMoN) and serves as a system to detect changes in the composition of the atmosphere, an important prerequisite to understanding human impact on the atmosphere and addressing important aspects of sustainable development. The Programme also includes weather prediction research; a Tropical Meteorology Research Programme relating to studies of monsoons, tropical cyclones, rain-producing tropical weather systems and droughts; and a programme on the physics and chemistry of clouds and weather modification.  2, record 6, English, - Atmospheric%20Research%20and%20Environment%20Programme

The main purpose of the Programme is to stimulate collaboration and participation in basic research in the physics and chemistry of clouds and encourage application of this research with particular emphasis on the needs of weather prediction, weather modification and atmospheric pollution. This includes parameterization of clouds and precipitation processes in atmospheric models, the role of clouds in the radiative balance of the atmosphere, chemical transformation and transportation of pollutants, weather modification, etc. The programme provides information on the rationale underlying all aspects of weather modification and the role of clouds in atmospheric chemistry. It strives to identify uncertainties that inhibit progress and to encourage activities that contribute to their resolution.  1, record 7, English, - Physics%20and%20Chemistry%20of%20Clouds%20and%20Weather%20Modification%20Research%20Programme

The influences of chemical wastes on weather and climate could be greatly amplified when they affect clouds. The presence or absence of clouds and their nature can have dramatic effects, as can small changes in their frequency or placement; therefore, changes in clouds produced by aerosols generate enormous relative differences per unit of aerosol mass. Consequently, control attention should be directed especially to a chemical' s prospective effects on cloud modification and aerosol dynamics.  1, record 8, English, - aerosol%20dynamics
