Koreans develop weather modification facility for crop research

Korea's Rural Development Administration opened the country's first weather modification facility for crop research and development.

The facility functions as a control tower where meteorological conditions affecting the growth of crops can be manipulated artificially.

Temperatures can be set from minus 10 degrees Celsius to up to 40 degrees, and carbon dioxide levels can be maximized up to 1,500 ppm.

In particular, the facility can create up to 50mm of artificial rain per hour, a feature that no other cloud-seeding system in the world has been able to achieve.

The short-term goal of the facility is to find ways to reduce the damage caused by climate changes in agricultural products.
