A methodological approach to assessing the current opportunities for changing the number of clouds in large areas in the interests of solving applied problems

The article presents a methodological approach to assessing the current possibilities for changing the number of clouds on an area of thousands-tens of thousands of km 2 . A method based on the use of means of dissipation supercooled undulatus clouds is considered. Quantitative estimates of the suitability for dissipation of clouds of these forms in various physical and geographical regions of Russia are given. Practical recommendations on the application of methods and means of dissipation supercooled undulatus clouds over large areas are given.
