Humidifier (Cold Mist)
Two large cold humidifiers combined ≈ 30–60 L/day. As droplets, NOT vapor.
Cold mist (2–35 °C). Boiled-then-cooled water at 18 °C; no thermal lift, no buoyancy-driven updraft.
Hygroscopic GCCN. Per Borys/Ayala literature, activates at s ≈ 0.05% — extremely low supersaturation.
Your claim: boiled-water mist is way more effective than normal. 10× = plausible per-liter CCN yield; 100× = ultrasonic/nano droplet regime.
Atmosphere
Sahara ground RH 10–30%. Sahel wet 50–70%.
Pre-existing moisture at altitude. Higher = closer to needing only a CCN trigger, not a full rainstorm.
Drives dispersion and droplet residence time. Storm=10, still air=0.
Without updraft the GCCN never reach cloud-base altitude. This is the natural missing ingredient.
Network Seeding (Compare)
Click any number of times to scale up. Network×1000 simulates 1000 humidifiers per click-position. Aircraft = single seeding pass.
ODE-CCT Real-time Metrics
Mass Flux Ratio (kg/s ÷ 1 km²)
9.7 × 10⁻¹⁴
Raw water flux vs air column. Underscaled by ~10¹³× for 1 km²; ground-based seeding needs this for ~10⁵ seconds of operation.
Peak Relative Humidity
0%
Highest RH recorded in the current simulation grid.
CCN Density (local, cm⁻³)
120/cm³
count of hygroscopic nuclei available for Köhler activation. Need > 10³/cm³ for cloud modification.
Droplet Settling Lifetime
30.0d
Time for a 3μm droplet to fall out (Stokes). Higher wind → more mixing → longer effective residence.
Network Density (km⁻²)
0units
Operational ground seeding needs ≥ 100/km². Aircraft equivalent ~ 0.001/km².
