Sarthak tiwary Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 What would be the side effects of doing such a thing to enhance rainfall? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etudiant Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 There are solar farms that are close to that size, so it is possible to test this with real world examples. Afaik, there has not been any such induced precipitation reported. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it would do anything. There are parking lots that have dark pavement that large and it doesn't do anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skierinvermont Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 My guess is you’d need something 100 times that size and also some interspersed water features to have a slightly perceptible effect. A hill would probably be more effective. I’ve seen hills not much wider than a km and considerably shorter than a km that effect weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a weather pattern has been witnessed before, the runway below is exactly 1km^2 , I will attach the images in the next port, some bug here 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It means nothing to me. I’d want to see a controlled experiment. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormfly Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 What about the possible effects of pipeline coupling with spaceweather, production of GIC (Geomagnetically Induced Current)? Even with the thermoelectric generators along natural gas pipelines that are in place to mitigate galvanic corrosion effects of said currents. Not necessarily affecting precipitation formation but what about CG lightning strikes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
