The main tasks of the laboratory:

The activity of the laboratory is directly related to the scientific and scientific-methodical work in the field of developing an independent scientific direction related to solving the issues of water resource shortage in Uzbekistan.

Developing and improving methods of influencing hydrometeorological processes by attracting additional precipitation in the mountain regions of the region by actively influencing clouds;

Also, the main task of the laboratory is to carry out scientific grants and programs on the study of hydrometeorological conditions of the rainfall regime related to climate change and orographic features of the region.

Research questions in radar meteorology include:

Conducting research on cloud physics and developing methods of actively influencing clouds in order to obtain additional precipitation in the mountainous regions of the region;

Development of cloud resources assessment methods in order to determine the most suitable districts for active influence, taking into account the water needs of the republic’s economy;

Research of hydrometeorological conditions in the lower troposphere of mountain regions in order to determine favorable conditions for deployment of means of influence on clouds;

Development and improvement of methods of influence on hail processes;

To study the influence of orography on the dynamics of convective clouds and precipitation;

Evaluation of the effectiveness of active influence in order to obtain additional precipitation;

Conducting scientific-research work with other scientific-research organizations on the study of regular and anomalous situations;

Methodical management of the laboratory’s unique objects, providing methodical support to them in accordance with the profile of its activity;

Publication of the main results of research obtained in the laboratory in articles, monographs, methodological instructions and other forms;

Conducting activities to put laboratory results into practice;

The laboratory is to coordinate its activities with other departments of the institute, as well as other organizations and institutions of the Uzgidromet.

Field of use:

The results of scientific-research and scientific-methodical works are introduced to the operational service of Uzgidromet and to the government bodies and economy of the Republic by issuing scientific work, monographs, methodological instructions and recommendations;

provides methodological support in conducting and coordinating scientific and operational work on hail protection of the Republic of Uzbekistan;

Development of business relations with scientific institutions and other agencies in accordance with the profile of their activity, conducting collaborative research by participating in meetings, conferences;

Conducting and organizing complex expeditionary observations of clouds using various methods and equipment (methods: radar, aircraft, etc.).
