Rainmaker partners with Atmo to squeeze more rain from clouds


Atmo will use its deep learning models to help Rainmaker identify clouds that have potential for seeding.

The forecasting startup will also offer Rainmaker’s cloud seeding services, deployed via small drones, to its customers. Cloud seeding is widely used throughout the Western United States, mostly to augment snowpack and boost the amount of water that ends up in reservoirs in the summer. The West Texas Weather Modification Association, which Rainmaker has worked with previously, says that cloud seeding in the region has boosted precipitation by about 15%, or about two inches, per year.
