Cloud seeds are released into areas within clouds with the ideal conditions for droplet or ice crystal growth.
Cloud Context
Clouds form when water vapor in the atmosphere condenses onto particles lofted in the air to form liquid water droplets. These particles, known as cloud condensation nuclei, can be soil dust, sea salt, or any other particle that attract water. Without cloud condensation nuclei, clouds could not exist on Earth.
