云降水物理和人工影响天气密不可分,云降水物理为人工影响天气提供理论基础,人工影响天气是云降水物理一个重要应用领域。目前我国人工影响天气规模、经费投入已达世界之最,人工影响天气工程正在建设之中。论文简要回顾了我国云物理研究和人工影响天气的发展过程,评述研究工作取得的进展,思考我国人工影响天气在新形势下进一步的发展的问题,显得尤为重要。几十年来,我国开展了一系列云雾降水的外场观测研究和人工影响天气的外场试验研究,云和降水物理以及人工影响天气的理论和技术研究不断取得进展,数值云模式和中尺度模式的模拟研究水平有了长足的进步,在云和降水物理过程和降水机制研究、云的微物理结构、云水资源和人工增雨潜力评估、催化条件预测、催化剂和催化技术等方面取得了显著进展。论文最后指出,目前的人工影响天气需要加强人工影响天气核心技术研究,并提出了需要进一步研究的云和降水物理中的有关科学问题。
Cloud precipitation physics and weather modification are mutually dependent; cloud precipitation physics provides a theoretical basis for weather modification, and weather modification is an important application field of cloud physics. Currently, the weather modification scale and funding in China have reached the world's highest levels, and a project for weather modification is under construction. In this paper, the authors briefly review the progress of research work and think further development of the weather modification in the new situation, which is of great practical significance. During recent decades, China has conducted field observations of a series of cloud and precipitation, in addition to field testing of weather modification. Research in cloud precipitation physics and weather modification theories and technology have progressed, and simulation research levels for cloud models and meso-scale numerical models have ad- vanced significantly. We have made significant progress in the research of cloud and precipitation physical processes, precipitation mechanisms, cloud microphysical structure, cloud water resources and precipitation enhancement potential evaluation, seed condition prediction, and catalyst technology. Finally, this paper reports that current weather modification studies should include stronger core technology research of weather modification, and we suggest the need for further study of scientific questions relative to cloud and precipita-tion physics.
