About the efficiency of active influences on the atmospheric processes aiming at the artificial increase of precipitation over the Crimean peninsula in September 2020

In order to solve the problem with a fresh water shortage and to fill the reservoirs on the Crimean peninsula, the active influences on atmospheric processes were applied on 29^th-30^th of September 2020, aimed at the artificially increase of atmospheric precipitation. The active influence on atmospheric processes may course the increase in the amount of atmospheric precipitation directly in the affected zone by 1.5–2.0 times, as well as the increase in seasonal amount of atmospheric precipitation in the affected zone by around of 15–30%. The effectiveness of this work over the Simferopol region was analyzed based on literature sources, available observation data from meteorological stations in Simferopol and Dzhankoy and radar remote sensing data from Sentinel-1 (satellite imagery processing was conducted in Google Earth Engine
