The plane may accidentally create holes in the clouds, creating snow or rain on the way. That is the conclusion of a new study published in the journal of the American Meteorological Association.

Turbine and jet engines moving in certain air conditions may inadvertently cause deep recesses in the clouds. This technology can be used to control the weather.

However, the clouds appear randomly when the plane flies through the middle clouds, leaving large holes or tubes, creating a 'path' for the snow and rain to fall to the ground.

Cloud holes are phenomena that have been recognized for many years and appear in photographs around the world. The secret behind these mysterious clouds has been revealed: the droplets are slow to freeze (still liquid even when the temperature is below the freezing point (about - 15 degrees Celsius).

When an airplane passes through the cloud containing slow-falling water droplets, the air becomes cold behind the propeller or on the wing, so the droplets freeze and fall to Earth.

'Every time airplanes travel through such special weather areas, they penetrate into the clouds and enhance the precipitation in the air,' said Andrew Heymsfield, co-author of the study. National atmosphere (NCAR) in Bouler, said.

Vulnerable clouds are seen frequently in areas such as the Pacific Northwest and Western Europe, where clouds contain many slow-moving water droplets.
