Abstract— The two-dimensional nonstationary model of convective clouds is developed. Based on numerical experiments with the developed model, the structure of a cloud at different time moments is investigated. The cloud evolution in natural conditions is computed. The cloud seeding using the functions of artificial crystal sources that imitate the seeding is simulated. An effective seeding mechanism is considered using the model.
