Abstract
Geoengineering attempts to remedy the climatecrisis through the intervention of dynamic systems to mitigatefuture scenarios of water drought in agriculture. The provincesof the department of Junín were identified as having themeteorological and geographical conditions where precipitationshould be generated for the benefit of agriculture. Themeteorological data was obtained from SENAMHI for theperiod 2000-2020, cloud information derived from theGOES-16 satellite belonging to NOAA was used and the satelliteimages were resampled using the cubic convolution method toevaluate the cloud parameters under the bands (C05, C08, C10,C11, C13, C15 and C16) in areas with cloud altitude between6-8 km in the Andes and in the eastern part between 5-7 kmwithin the study area. From this analysis, favorable cloudclusters were identified in relation to the arid zones withextensive croplands where rainfed irrigation is used, using thegeodatabase of the Ecological and Economic Zoning (ZEE) ofthe Regional Government of Junín.
