UAE Research Program for Rain Enhancement Science (UAEREP)

UAEREP, managed by the National Centre of Meteorology in the UAE, is an international research initiative designed to advance the science and technology of rain enhancement.  For the 6th Cycle, the program will focus on five Strategic Elements / Thrust Areas:

1. Optimized Seeding Materials
2. Novel Cloud Formation and/or Rain Enhancement Systems
3. Autonomous Unmanned Aircraft Systems
4. Limited-Area Climate Interventions
5. Advanced Models, Software, and Data

Pay attention that the project requirements also include:

• A project plan that integrates research, capacity building/education, and knowledge transfer activities…  in particular, collaboration with NCM personnel throughout all stages of the project will ensure seamless transition of research outcomes to cloud seeding operations.
• A plan for social and environmental stewardship through community outreach and environmental impact assessment and mitigation, as appropriate to the project.
• A detailed management plan that describes sound mechanisms for project oversight, team communications, risk mitigation, and financial monitoring.

Funding: up to $1.5 Million over 3 years. Up to three awards will be funded
