Remote sensing for systems of active impact on clouds

The problem of remote sensing for of active impact on clouds is considered. The main peculiarities of climate in Ukraine and methods of active impact are discussed. It was shown that climate in Ukraine requires using of such methods for mainly two reasons: protection of agriculture crops (defence against hail) and stimulation of precipitation. Therefore the remote measurement of clouds parameters is of great importance that requires the complex methods, including passive and active sensing. In the paper the various approaches are discussed.
