增雨为干旱和半干旱国家及其他地区提供了一种尚未实现的潜力，以确保缺水国家的可持续供水。自20世纪90年代以来，阿联酋一直在进行云播作业，并在今天继续使用6架比奇国王航空公司的C90飞机。阿联酋增雨科学研究计划是阿联酋总统事务部的一项倡议，由国家气象和地震学中心（NCMS）监督，该计划在三年期间提供500万美元的资助，由多达5个获奖的研究提案分享，这些研究提案通过两阶段的价值审查决策过程选出。其目的是通过发展研究和业务能力，同时促进该地区的全球研究合作，在当地和全球范围内加强和进一步发展该领域的能力。由于该计划的成功，通过使用纳米技术、土地覆盖改造、创新算法、制冰过程、气溶胶优化和观察降雨产生的电气方面，已经开展了开创性的降水增强工作。
Rain enhancement offers an unrealised potential for arid and semi-arid countries and beyond, to ensure sustainable water supplies for countries suffering from shortages. Cloud seeding operations have been conducted in the UAE since the 1990s and continue today with 6 Beechcraft King Air C90 aircrafts.The UAE Research Program for Rain Enhancement Science is an initiative of the UAE Ministry of Presidential Affairs, overseen by the National Center of Meteorology and Seismology (NCMS), that offers a grant of US$ 5 million over a three-year period, to be shared by up to five winning research proposals, selected by a two-stage merit review decision process.The aim is to enhance and further develop capacity in the field both locally and globally by developing research and operational capacities while spurring global research collaborations in the region. Due to the success of the Program, ground-breaking work is already being carried out on precipitation enhancement through the use of nanotechnology, land cover modification, innovative algorithms, ice production processes, aerosols optimization and observation of the electrical aspects of rain generation.
