Two pathways to glaciogenic cloud seeding were developed. Static seeding aims at using modest or "optimal" amount of seeds with the target of forming ice (or snow) crystals that collect supercooled droplets in a process called riming, which leads to formation of graupels and their precipitation. The dynamic seeding aims at rapid glaciation of the whole cloud by using large amounts of seeds. 2, record 2, English, - dynamic%20cloud%20seeding

Le principe de l'ensemencement dynamique consiste essentiellement à provoquer une glaciation rapide des nuages surfondus en y introduisant des quantités suffisantes de noyaux glaçogènes ou réfrigérant. La libération de chaleur latente dont s'accompagne le gel des gouttes surfondues et/ou la croissance des cristaux de glace due au dépôt de vapeur augmente la poussée hydrostatique dans le nuage. En présence de conditions favorables, ceci entraîne l'épaississement et le gonflement du nuage, renforce le transport vertical d'eau à l'intérieur de celui-ci, et peut augmenter les quantités de précipitations reçues au sol. 1, record 2, French, - ensemencement%20dynamique

In meteorology, the condition existing in a given portion of the atmosphere (or other space) when the relative humidity is greater than 100 per cent, that is, when it contains more water vapor than is needed to produce saturation with respect to a plane surface of pure water or pure ice. 2, record 9, English, - supersaturation

Such supersaturation does develop because frequently there is no "plane surface of pure water(or ice) "available. In the absence of water surfaces and in the absence of condensation nuclei or any wettable surfaces, phase change from vapor to liquid cannot occur due to the free energy barrier imposed by the surface free energy of the embryonic droplets which would then have to form by spontaneous nucleation...

Precipitation processes are complex.... Snow crystals begin as minute ice particles which have formed around condensation nuclei in the atmosphere. These nuclei may be dust particles with favorable molecular structure or even minute crystals of sea salt. If these ice particles exist in an atmosphere with an excess supply of water vapor(supersaturated air) they will continue to grow. Upon reaching a critical size, they begin to fall. Depending on the conditions they encounter in different layers of air during their descent, they may continue to grow, may stop growing, or may experience a succession of growth patterns.
