Winter orographic cloud seeding (cloud seeding where wind blows over a mountain range, thereby causing clouds and rain or snow by lifting the air) has been practiced in California since the early 1950s.
The projects generally use silver iodide as the active seeding agent, supplemented by dry ice if aerial seeding is done. Silver iodide can be applied from ground generators or from airplanes.
