The National Center of Meteorology announced the end of the Emirates Research Program for Rain Enhancement Sciences, after 12 innovative research experiments, spanning about a year, with the aim of studying the possibility of the formation of cumulus rain clouds by stimulating vertical winds. Night humidity that extends into the morning hours.

In detail, the National Center of Meteorology, through the Emirates Research Program for Rain Enhancement Sciences, implemented the second phase of innovative research experiments to study the possibility of the formation of cumulus rain clouds, by stimulating vertical winds, which was implemented in Jebel Jais in the Emirate of Ras Al Khaimah, by a research team led by the researcher. At the Cold Breakdown Research Center in Russia, the third cycle grantee of the Emirates Research Program for Rain Enhancement Science, Dr. Ali Abshaev.

The center explained that the experiments included monitoring the activities of local clouds and precipitation in the eastern regions of the UAE, during the winter, and comparing their results with the experiments of last spring, which lasted from February 17 to March 26, 2021, pointing out that the research project aims to study the possibility of Stimulation of vertical convection currents by a jet engine equipped with advanced scientific measuring instruments, leading to the formation of cumulus rain clouds.

According to the center, the research team conducted 12 research experiments in different weather conditions, which included three experiments in a clear sky, four with the presence of convective clouds and stratigraphic clouds, three with direct intervention in convection clouds, and two experiments with interference with stratigraphic clouds.

Dr. Abdullah Al-Mandoos, Director General of the Center and President of the Asian Meteorological Union, said that through the Emirates Research Program for Rain Enhancement Science, the Center works closely with program grantees and supports their research projects to find sustainable solutions to the risks of water scarcity, especially for the communities most vulnerable to the consequences of this crisis. , which can secure the needs of sustainable water resources, and advance social and economic development.

On the other hand, the National Center of Meteorology reported that the country will be exposed, during the coming days, to weak surface pressure systems, accompanied by an extension of an atmospheric high in the upper layers of the atmosphere, pointing out that tomorrow's weather will be clear in general, with the appearance of some low clouds in the east, explaining that temperatures The temperature tends to decrease, especially over the interior, and it becomes humid at night until next Monday morning, with the possibility of fog or light fog forming over some coastal and interior regions.

The center indicated that the weather next Monday will be clear in general, and partly cloudy at times, becoming humid at night until Tuesday morning, with the possibility of fog or light fog forming over some coastal and inland areas, while the winds will become southwesterly to northwest, and northeasterly light to moderate. Speed, its speed ranges between 10 and 20 km / h, up to 30 km / h on the sea, which has light waves in the Arabian Gulf and in the Sea of ​​Oman.

The center noted that the weather next Tuesday will be clear in general, and partly cloudy at times, becoming humid at night until Wednesday morning, with the possibility of fog or light fog forming over some coastal and inland areas, while the winds will remain southwesterly to northwest, and northeasterly light to Moderate speed, speed ranges between 10 and 20 km / h, up to 30 km / h on the sea, which has light waves in the Arabian Gulf and in the Sea of ​​Oman.

field campaign

The National Center of Meteorology stated that the experiments conducted by the research team of the Emirates Research Program for Rain Enhancement Science are the culmination of the numerical modeling studies carried out by the research team over the past three years, using theoretical and laboratory applications, as the first phase last year included the implementation of a field campaign in Jabal Jais in Ras Al Khaimah, which is the highest mountain peak in the UAE, with a height of 1934 meters above sea level.
