Short summary
Precipitation from warm clouds requires large droplets to promote collision-coalescence. As part of an investigation into cloud seeding, we tested two hygroscopic materials in a laboratory cloud chamber where they formed large droplets and increased the concentration of liquid water. Sodium chloride particles with diameters of 4 to 25 micrometers proved most effective, supporting in-cloud seeding for precipitation enhancement in warm clouds, particularly in arid regions.
