New Study Says Aircraft Can Increase Precipitation Around Major Airports

I thought the chem trailers would get a kick out of this.

Researchers in the United States have discovered that accidental “cloud seeding” can be caused by commercial and private jetliners around the world, increasing the precipitation around major airports. When an aircraft flies through a cloud, its propellers cause an expansion and cooling of the air behind them which can cause water droplets to spontaneously cool and crystals to form. The aircraft sets off a chain reaction in the cloud that can continue on for hours after it has passed by. Though “cloud seeding” has been studied and practiced for decades as a way to induce precipitation, it seems we’ve been doing it all along without noticing.

According to researchers planes are causing it to rain more whenever a plane flies through clouds.

And I found this even more interesting.

he researchers also discovered that this phenomenon is more common near the poles, where many of Earth’s weather monitoring systems are, and it could be skewing data that research teams are gathering in those areas. It seems that human design has quite the effect on nature and a lot of the time we don’t even notice.

Planes are skewing pole data? Interesting.
