How Does Rain Actually Work? | Rain: The Untold Story

Rain supports life on land by supplying salt-free water. Lack of rain has shaped and destroyed civilizations since antiquity, and now climate change is changing the patterns of rainfall with deadly effect. However, even though rain is essential to us, it is still something we know relatively little about. So how is rain studied and what can we learn from it’s different patterns?

This man talking in Irish was amazing! Totally unexpected, nice that he kept it in irish!

Two important corrections. 1) Dry ice is solid, cold, CO2. Silver Ido is AgI. 2) Seeding clouds cause drop formation, but more importantly, heat releases convection. My book Pluvicopia shows how convection of the lowest air strata, which often has 100 times more water content than mid-level air, will form precipitation through the normal Level Of Free Convection process. The UAE and Qatar are especially suitable for the technology, though the engineering of the structure needs some adjustments. The area has a huge energy content (high misery index) that it can be a water and energy (other than oil) exporting region.

I would rather have voice over translations than subtitles.

[@cuncata]

Those languages are really nice to listen to tho. I wish I could understand at least Gaelic.

[@jemjem461]

Funny, I'm the opposite.
I wish it had both voice overs and subtitles, then it would be perfect

[@brazendesigns]

@@cuncatathe Irish language is so beautiful, but boy is it difficult!

@6:12 - because someone sat for a thousand years and measured the calcite growth and determined it to be 1 cm.

I need both. Lost the hearing in my left ear and I have tinnitus.

[@stelampology]

I caught this right when it came out. Leas than 12-minutes in, I’ve had FIVE ads. Buh ye

I love documentaries. I dislike climate propaganda inserted in every new film.

You see the Earth is changing, Because that's what it does every so often. When you take profits and allow giant companies to destroy it on an imagined scale that tends to speed up the process, I think they tried to pay off the Earth but I think it said it doesn't know what the hell money is and it has all the gold anyways😂😂😂

Lots of channels reporting alien spacecraft stations hidden under pyramids. That should keep you happy.

I thought weather data and communications were supposed to be in the English language, similar to the international standard for aviation. But you just had to have Gaelic, Mandarin, etc. to show off how international this was. Aggravating. Is it too much to ask to have an English-language documentary in English?

[@forgetful3360]

Try a larger panty size. It may offer some relief for your condition.

[@ben-fq9cu]

Just put on subtitles or don't watch it.

[@heraldosanchez-yv1fp]

22:54 it occurs to me that the best language to express meteorological data might not be hieroglyphics

[@danlhendl]

Gravity?

[@belligerentcuisine]

nope. to many advertising dollars.

[@gregorysagegreene]

Wort the forrrrk! Ya' canna' listen to this
while gettin' dressed in a semi.
"Water, air, and food"? Um, how about gravity, atmospheric pressure, and a radiation shield?

[@saulsavelis575]

is it english documentary or smurfs language documentary?
