(NASDAQ:RAIN), a leading provider\nof ionization rain and snowfall enhancement technology, today announced that\nits scientific team will present four precipitation enhancement field studies\nat the AMS Madison Summit, a convening of six American Meteorological Society\nspecialty conferences bringing together atmospheric scientists across weather\nforecasting, severe storms, cloud physics, mountain meteorology, and weather\nmodification, August 3-7, 2026, in Madison, Wisconsin.\n\nRET's presentations are part of the 25th Conference on Planned and Inadvertent\nWeather Modification. The presentations represent the first peer-reviewed\nscientific forum appearances for RET's Weather Enhancement Technology Array\n(WETA) operational results, including the first quantitative field evidence\nthat ground-based ionization can enhance cold-season orographic precipitation\nin North American mountain ranges.\n\nSenior Meteorologist Dr. Jeffrey Chagnon will present \"First North American\nField Evaluation of Ground-Based Ionization for Wintertime Precipitation\nEnhancement,\" reporting results from the first North American field deployment\nof ground-based ionization technology for wintertime snowpack enhancement.\nDespite historically dry conditions during the 2025-2026 winter, statistically\nsignificant enhancement of both snow depth and snow water equivalent was\nobserved relative to expectations derived from control site behavior and\nhistorical analogs.\n\nData Scientist Rutuja Dongre will present \"Enhancement Above Expectation:\nRigorous Statistical Evaluation of Weather Modification Performance,\"\noutlining RET's multifaceted statistical framework for evaluating\nprecipitation enhancement from ground-based atmospheric ionization systems,\nincluding difference-in-differences techniques, Bayesian Structural Time\nSeries models, and ridge regression counterfactual modeling.\n\nVP of Engineering Scott Morris will present \"Chemical-Free Cloud Seeding:\nOperational Results from Ground-Based Ionization Systems in Utah,\" examining\nthe operational deployment of the WETA at the La Sal Mountains in Utah\nbeginning November 2025. The presentation details system specifications and\nintegration with meteorological monitoring networks including SNOTEL sensors,\nWSR-88D radar, and radiometer observations.\n\nResearch Engineer Taylor Gresham will present \"Electrostatic Fog Dispersal:\nDeployment and Optimization of Ground-Based Ionization System,\" detailing the\ndeployment, instrumentation strategy, and optimization framework for field\ntrials of RET's Fog Removal by Electrical Activity (FREA) system near the\nMyall River, New South Wales, Australia.\n\n\"Presenting four studies at the AMS Weather Modification Conference is a\nsignificant milestone for our scientific team and for the field of\nionization-based precipitation enhancement,\" said Randy Seidl, Chief Executive\nOfficer of Rain Enhancement Technologies. \"The La Sal Mountains results\nrepresent the first quantitative field evidence of this kind in North America,\nand we look forward to sharing our methodology and findings with the broader\nweather modification community.\"\n\n\"The peer-reviewed scientific community is where this work belongs,\" said Dr.\nJeffrey Chagnon, Senior Meteorologist at Rain Enhancement Technologies. \"Our\nstatistical framework was specifically designed to produce rigorous,\nuncertainty-quantified results that can withstand scientific scrutiny.\nPresenting at AMS is the natural next step in establishing ground-based\nionization as a credible and replicable approach to precipitation\nenhancement.\"\n\nRET's WETA platform uses a ground-based ionization process rather than\ntraditional chemical-based cloud seeding, operates autonomously without aerial\noperations or chemical dispersal, and functions year-round rather than being\nlimited to sub-freezing conditions. In its first full winter of operation at\nthe La Sal Mountains in Utah, the WETA produced more than 20% Snow Water\nEquivalent enhancement - confirmed by three independent statistical methods\nand reviewed by Dr. Binod Pokharel of Utah State University - generating an\nestimated 8,750 acre-feet of incremental water at a validated cost of $10 per\nacre-foot.\n\nThe AMS Madison Summit will be held August 3-7, 2026, at the Monona Terrace\nCommunity and Convention Center in Madison, Wisconsin.\n\nAbout Rain Enhancement Technologies, Inc.\n\nRain Enhancement Technologies was founded to provide the world with reliable\naccess to water, one of life's most important resources. To achieve this\nmission, RET develops, manufactures, and commercializes ionization\nprecipitation generation technology that enhances rainfall and snowpack to\naddress water scarcity challenges. The Company is also developing applications\nfor fog mitigation to expand its weather modification capabilities.
