Bioprecipitation

Bacterial rain-making process

Bioprecipitation is a theory about rain-making bacteria. It was proposed by David Sands from Montana State University in 1982. They believe that biological ice nuclei have the ability to catalyze freezing at warmer temperatures.[1] New research shows that bacteria may be found in clouds as a way spread their spores.[2]
