- The initiative is intended to combat regional haze.
Malaysia has announced that Indonesia will permit cloud seeding operations within its airspace. This collaborative effort is designed to address the persistent issue of regional haze, which often affects air quality across Southeast Asia. Cloud seeding is a weather modification technique that aims to increase precipitation by dispersing substances like silver iodide into the atmosphere, potentially helping to clear smoke and pollutants.
