China has succeeded in creating another man-made snowfall in Tibet Autonomous Region to ease drought, local authorities said on Tuesday.
Technicians took advantage of suitable weather conditions to carry out the artificial snowfall in the regional capital of Lhasa from 2:02 p.m. to 4:05 p.m. Saturday, said Gaisang Puncog, head of the Tibet Regional Weather Modification Center.
The precipitation was measured at 0.2 mm in downtown Lhasa and the accumulated snow on the nearby mountains reached 2 cm after the artificial snowfall, he said.
"It played an active role in increasing soil moisture, making the air cleaner and reducing the occurrences of respiratory diseases," he said. "The snowfall and following temperature drop are good for the growth of winter crops."
Technicians with the weather modification authorities fired six rocket shells containing 10 cigarette-sized sticks of silver iodide totaling 1,395 grams over the city's skies in the artificial snowfall operation, he added.
This operation came after another man-made snowfall launched in Ngari Prefecture in western Tibet on Jan. 9.
Lhasa and neighboring areas have reported a lack of snowfall this winter with higher temperatures than normal years.
In April last year, China succeeded in creating artificial snow for the first time in Nagqu County at an altitude of about 4,500 meters in northern Tibet.
If they Military was spraying fine Aluminium to jam radar they would be very stupid to do that, the FAA would have a fit! and who on Earth is going to be scanning with radar in this day and age when we have satellites with 1cm resolution.
Why would commercial jet planes be spraying for the military?
I always ask for the seat next to or behind the engine and wings on aircraft's, I know what contrails are and there very simple to explain, I have seen with my own eyes something being sprayed out of the wings where there is no cannard or jet engine exhaust, I cannot say it was a chem trail, I just know it was not a contrail.
If you look back at pictures from the 50s, 60s, and 70s you will be hard pushed to find what people now call chemtrails, you could argue there was less air crafts in flight, its possible, you could also argue that they only began in the 80's.
I tend to lean on the side that chemtrails are real and have a purpose, I mean look at all the other projects they get away with and lie about.
Mistranslations in the infamous German "chemtrail" video. Why am I not surprised.
Governments and media are more guilty of bad translations like the OBL tapes.
As far as the chaff (anti-radar powder) nobody uses that any more, it would affect civilian radar and it leaves physical evidence on the ground and in trees, there is no reason at all to use metal foil in this day and age and there is no proof this is what so called chemtrails are.
Healthy paranoia is a good thing in this day and age, because never give the Government the benefit of the doubt.

This is a deliberate mistranslation by Sciechimiche (of "Inside a Chemtrail Sprayer" infamy) of Karsten Brandt complaining about a mysterious trail which appeared on his weather radar. They translated "Dueppel" (chaff) as chemtrail, when the German for "chemtrail" is "chemtrail".
This "trail" was mysterious because cloud-detection radar is tuned to the wavelength of water droplets and ice - not the wavelength used to detect aircraft. The German authorities denied all involvement, suggesting it was a flight of Dutch Eurofighters on a training exercise which had released a small amount of chaff. On hindsight it seems more likely to have been a dense contrail laid in supersaturated air. It happened during the night, when such trails are known to be denser.

It IS used. They are zinc-plated glass fibres about 40mm long, dispersed by the million. They don't look that nice to me - they aren't visible when deployed - but would be very difficult to find on the ground afterwards.

Ain't that the truth. But save it for the real stuff.
Imagine if one day they could develop a craft that could in one 3000-mile flight spray 80,000 tons of ice... Would you consider that a threat?
Well, relax. Every jumbo that has ever flown has been doing this ever since 1972. Every time it flew through a saturated layer in the stratosphere... ...it's far too late!

Chemtrails in AZ. Air sample reveals barium, titanium, aluminum, magnesium, freeze dried red blood cells, vaccines, viruses, and mica plasma that can only be created in a laboratory. Potentially causing the die off of whole populations of animals and insects, also where much of the lettuce for the US is produced.

The concept of delaying global warming by adding particles into the upper atmosphere to cool the climate could unintentionally reduce peak electricity generated by large solar power plants by as much as one-fifth, according to a new NOAA study. The findings appear in this week’s issue of Environmental Science and Technology.
“Injecting particles into the stratosphere could have unintended consequences for one alternative energy source expected to play a role in the transition away from fossil fuels,” said author Daniel Murphy, a scientist at NOAA’s Earth System Research Laboratory in Boulder, Colo.
The world's largest solar power facility, located near Kramer Junction, Calif., consists of five Solar Electric Generating Stations and covers more than 1,000 acres.
The Earth is heating up as fossil-fuel burning produces carbon dioxide, the primary heat-trapping gas responsible for man-made climate change. To counteract the effect, some geoengineering proposals are designed to slow global warming by shading the Earth from sunlight.
Among the ideas being explored is injecting small particles into the upper atmosphere to produce a climate cooling similar to that of large volcanic eruptions, such as Mt. Pinatubo’s in 1991. Airborne sulfur hovering in the stratosphere cooled the Earth for about two years following that eruption.
Murphy found that particles in the stratosphere reduce the amount and change the nature of the sunlight that strikes the Earth. Though a fraction of the incoming sunlight bounces back to space (the cooling effect), a much larger amount becomes “diffuse” or scattered light.
On average, for every watt of sunlight the particles reflect away from the Earth, another three watts of direct sunlight are converted to diffuse sunlight. Large power-generating solar plants that concentrate sunlight for maximum efficiency depend solely on direct sunlight and cannot use diffuse light.
Murphy verified his calculations using long-term NOAA observations of direct and diffuse sunlight before and after the 1991 eruption.
After the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo, peak power output of Solar Electric Generating Stations in California, the largest collective of solar power plants in the world, fell by up to 20 percent, even though the stratospheric particles from the eruption reduced total sunlight that year by less than 3 percent.
“The sensitivity of concentrating solar systems to stratospheric particles may seem surprising,” said Murphy. “But because these systems use only direct sunlight, increasing stratospheric particles has a disproportionately large effect on them.”
Nine Solar Electric Generating Stations operate in California and more are running or are under construction elsewhere in the world. In sunny locations such systems, which use curved mirrors or other concentrating devices, generate electricity at a lower cost than conventional photovoltaic, or solar, cells.
Flat photovoltaic and hot water panels, commonly seen on household roofs, use both diffuse and direct sunlight. Their energy output would decline much less than that from concentrating systems.
Even low-tech measures to balance a home’s energy, such as south-facing windows for winter heat and overhangs for summer shade, would be less effective if direct sunlight is reduced.
NOAA understands and predicts changes in the Earth's environment, from the depths of the ocean to the surface of the sun, and conserves and manages our coastal and marine resources.

Light scattering calculations and data show that stratospheric aerosols reduce direct sunlight by about 4 W for every watt reflected to outer space. The balance becomes diffuse sunlight. One consequence of deliberate enhancement of the stratospheric aerosol layer would be a significant reduction in the efficiency of solar power generation systems using parabolic or other concentrating optics. There also would be a reduction in the effectiveness of passive solar design.
