PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for generating artificial rainfall or the like, making artificial rain fall anytime anywhere by loading an artificial rainfall generating device on a moving means followed by making always movable to an area requiring rainfall, and especially, surely generating a large amount of artificial rainfall by combining a plurality of moving means in further preferable positional relation so as to surely raise a swirling flow to a further upper layer.SOLUTION: This method for generating artificial rainfall or the like includes forming a spiral upward flow from the ground by loading an artificial rainfall generating device on a moving means such as a vehicle and a ship, and combining a plurality of the moving means in proper positional relation.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】移動手段に人工降雨発生装置を搭載していつでも降雨を必要とする地域に移動可能にしていつでもどこにでも人工雨を降らせるようにし、特に、移動手段の複数をより好ましい位置関係に組み合わせることにより渦巻流をより上層へ確実に上昇させて人工降雨を確実かつ多量に発生させ得るようにした人工降雨等発生方法を提供すること。【解決手段】車両や船舶などの移動手段に人工降雨発生装置を搭載してこれら複数の移動手段を適宜位置関係のもとに組み合わせることで地上からの螺旋状上昇流を形成するようにする。【選択図】図1
