W the eastern Chinese city of Luohe are experiencing their first rain for many weeks. Gang Lin's valuable wheat has been saved, thanks to a technique known as “cloud seeding” (4), which the chemical silver iodide (Agl) is introduced into clouds. ‘Thi ‘causes the tiny drops of moisture in the clouds to turn to ice. These tiny ice particles join until they become heavy enough to fall from the sky, turing into rain as they melt, But did “cloud seeding” really cause the rain in Luohe to fall, or was it just a coincidence? Experts often question whether “cloud seeding” actually (5 It is hard to tell how effective “cloud seeding” actually is, they say, as ht have rained anyway, without human intervention, But this has not stopped many governments and organizations from trying, from fields for miles around, in twenty minutes, the farms around (Source: Complete IELTS-Workbook by Rawdon Wyatt) VI.

In their darker moments, climatologists talk about their own “nightmare scenario”, This is one where global warming has caused such significant climatic changes that ocean currents change direction. One scene from the nightmare has the Gulf Stream moving south or even going into reverse, making winter in London look and feel like a St. Petersburg January. ‘The ocean is a great moderating influence on the planet, soaking up heat around the tropics and depositing it in the cooler polar regions. Yet scientists know surprisingly littleabout how the sea does this - they estimate that the North Atlantic alone moves energy equivalent to the output of several hundred million power stations. Last year oceanographers began their biggest international research initiative to learn more about ocean circulation. The first results from the World Ocean Circulation Experiment demonstrate just how complex the movement of sca-water can be. They have also given scientists a glance of the amount of heat being exchanged between the oceans and the atmosphere. As part of the experiment, researchers are monitoring the speed and direction of ‘ocean currents, Water temperature and salinity. Research ships taking part will gather detailed measurements at 24,000 points or stations” along carefully designated trans-ocean routes. This undertaking dwarfs the 8,000 hydrographic stations ereated in the past hundred years of ocean surveying. A fleet of ships, buoys, seabed sensors and satellites will collect so much data that Britain, one of the 40 countries taking part, has opened a research institute, the James Rennell Centre for Ocean Circulation in Southampton, to process them. ‘One of the justifications for the experiment, says John Woods, director of marine and atmospheric sciences at the Natural Environment Research Council, is that the oceans hold the key to understanding long-term changes in the global climate, The Earth has two “envelopes” - the ocean, consisting of slowly circulating water, and the atmosphere, made of fast-moving air, Far from being independent, they interact, one modifying the other until a balance is reached between them, The present balance came about at the end of the last lee ‘Age, about 10,000 years ago, Scientists hope that knowing more about the ocean's "weather patterns" will help them to predict climate changes further ahead. Knowing how heat is moving around the ocean is decisive to such long-term forecasting. The top three metres of the ocean store more heat than all of the atmosphere. ‘Some of the heat can be transported downward between 30 metres and several thousand metres, The deeper it goes, the longer it stays out of the atmosphere. Water heated in the ‘equatorial region flows in shallow currents north or south towards the poles, where it releases its heat to the air and, as it becomes colder and denser, sinks to the sea floor, where it forms deep, cold currents that back to the equator.
