Rain Enhancement Technologies Shows Positive Results from First U.S. Installations in Colorado and Utah
Rain Enhancement Technologies announced early indications from its first two U.S. installations in Colorado and Utah. The Company's Weather Enhancement Technology Array systems are showing promising results in winter precipitation enhancement, with observations suggesting the technology is influencing precipitation patterns as intended. Most notably, the United States' extensive high-resolution weather radar network has enabled RET to directly observe potential WETA effects for the first time - a capability that was not available in ionization enhancement trials in Oman and Australia during warm weather conditions. This enhanced observational infrastructure allows the Company to detect and analyze subtle precipitation changes in real-time, providing valuable validation of the technology's performance. The Company's installation in Gill, Colorado, became operational in early November. During a line of light showers moving across Weld County, Dr. Jeffrey Chagnon, RET's Senior Meteorologist, observed an abrupt southward extension of the precipitation line with brightening in radar reflectivity - indicating potential rainfall enhancement - precisely where the Company's HYSPLIT atmospheric trajectory modeling predicted the ion plume would intersect the weather system. The Company's Utah installation, operational since mid-November in Grand County's La Sal Mountain Range, has similarly shown encouraging early results. On Nov. 17, as showers moved across eastern Utah, Dr. Chagnon observed a distinct pattern of precipitation initiation, intensification, and lingering over the La Sal Mountains - precisely where RET's atmospheric modeling indicated the ion plume would be positioned.
