Swiss Hail Suppression Project

The Swiss Hail Suppression Project is an initiative to reduce damaging hailstorms in Switzerland. It involves deploying specialized aircraft that release silver iodide into clouds, encouraging the formation of smaller ice particles rather than large hailstones. This technique aims to break up or diminish hail production, protecting agriculture, property, and reducing weather-related risks. The project is carefully monitored to evaluate its effectiveness and ensure environmental safety, representing a scientific approach to mitigating hail damage through cloud seeding technology.
