Air pollution can cause a widespread haze in the Arctic. A study of the lower atmosphere there suggests that haze particles might take up free radicals, and so extend the lifetime of air pollutants in the region.
The government has been seriously contemplating taking up cloud seeding along the State
  The Leh cloudburst has again brought out the glaring lack of adequate documentation on such sporadic weather events. J Srinivasan, chairman of Divecha Centre for Climate Change and head of Centre for Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, Indian Institute of Science, tells TOI
ITANAGAR, Aug 11: It comes as a surprise that so far Arunachal Pradesh has actually witnessed a deficit in its average rainfall when landslides and flash floods triggered by incessant rains had created havoc in many parts of the state.
Cloud simulation is one of the most challenging tasks in regional to global-scale modelling. In many cases, the physical mechanisms responsible for observed cloud dynamics are unknown, making it difficult to realistically simulate their structure and behaviour.

Agartala, July 25: The northeastern region, comprising eight states, has recorded deficit rainfall during the current monsoon season and this may affect agricultural production, an official said on Sunday.
The State Government has decided to go the Chinese way to deal with the erratic monsoon rains: It will test rocket launching system of cloud seeding to ensure rainfall and avoid agriculture drought.
