Company Background
Weather Modification, Inc. was founded in 1961, and over the past 40 years, it has become a world leader in the areas of hail suppression and precipitation augmentation. WMI has also provided equipment and expertise in the areas of cloud microphysics research and air quality sampling for governmental agencies and private entities.
Since its beginning, Company personnel have logged over 30,000 hours of actual cloud seeding time. During its 40 years of weather modification experience, WMI has pioneered safe and effective techniques for cloud seeding, both day and night. These advances in cloud seeding have made it possible to conduct operations 24 hours per day, seven days a week. These techniques have been employed with continued success for over 40 seasons throughout the world.
For actual flight operations WMI uses only modern jet and twin-engine aircraft. In addition to their high performance characteristics, the jet and twin-engine aircraft provide an extra measure of safety.
To provide a more effective and efficient weather modification program, the most up to date radar systems are utilized for tracking storms and for measuring storm intensities. Radar systems are also fully equipped with dual radio facilities so that aircraft can be dispatched and advised by the radar unit.
The WMI track record speaks for itself. Currently, WMI operates multiple radars and more than 20 modern high performance aircraft, staffed by experienced pilots, meteorologists, and radar technicians on cloud seeding programs in Alberta, North Dakota, Texas, Oklahoma, Mexico, Argentina, and Greece. Our clients include private and public insurance companies, water resource management organizations, and federal and state research organizations.
