The Chamber of Meteorological Engineers, affiliated with the Union of Chambers of Turkish Cypriot Engineers and Architects (KTMMOB), made an announcement in regards to the “cloud seeding” course of, which got here to the fore after the flood in Dubai, and famous that it shouldn’t be thought that this course of, which might be carried out underneath the management of consultants, will trigger hurt.
Within the assertion made by the Chamber of Meteorological Engineers (MMO), declaring the information that the flood that occurred on account of heavy rains in Dubai was brought on by synthetic rain works, it was acknowledged that it isn’t appropriate to outline the cloud seeding course of carried out in Dubai as “synthetic rain” and that this course of can’t be carried out with out appropriate clouds.

Within the assertion, it was acknowledged that air intervention operations, known as “climate modification”, should not a brand new course of and are nonetheless being carried out with the procedures and strategies developed by nations in keeping with their very own wants, and by sharing the instance of the Hydrometeorology unit in Belgrade seeding the Cumulonimbus cloud that types hail years in the past with particular rocket launchers with a view to forestall hail, It was acknowledged that the Farmers Union pioneered this work.
Within the assertion, it was reminded that the cloud seeding course of was additionally tried within the TRNC a few quarter of a century in the past, and it was acknowledged that no hurt was seen or deliberate on account of this research carried out with a modest funds.
Because the Chamber of Meteorological Engineers, whereas speaking about world warming for years, along with meteorological parameters in metropolis planning, consideration has at all times been drawn to microclimatological values, warmth islands and subsequently unstable precipitation, and that meteorology and engineering needs to be used on the starting stage.
“We stated that we needs to be able to enter a interval during which we are going to expertise drought and floods collectively. Dubai Flood defined what we couldn’t clarify for years. Directing water is feasible not with cash, not with pipes, however with knowledge and data, and through planning. “It shouldn’t be forgotten that water determines the topography, the ultimate say is its personal.”
