A Lufft CHM 15k ceilometer is deployed at the Indira Gandhi International Airport, New Delhi, and was initially used for cloud interference studies due to ‘smog’ that occurred because of stubble burning in the fields of Punjab, and now for airport-related cloud profiling. The second CHM is used for the ‘cloud-seeding’ project ‘Cloud Aerosol Interaction and Precipitation Enhancement Experiment’ (CAIPEEX) of the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM) and is located at their Observatory in Solapur. The project is the first to attempt to initiate rainclouds under tropical conditions.
