印度尼西亚当局正考虑将其用于更多受森林火灾影响的地区。印度尼西亚国家灾害管理局（BNPB）新任局长克里斯托梅·西安图里在周日（10月18日）表示，该天气改造技术在南苏门答腊省已使用两次，已被证明“相当有效”，当地媒体报道。
Indonesian authorities are considering expanding its use to more regions affected by forest fires. New head of Indonesia’s National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) Kristomei Sianturi said on Sunday (Oct 18) that the weather modification technology which has been used twice in the South Sumatra province, has proved to be "fairly effective", local media reported.
印度尼西亚总统普拉博沃·苏比安托已指示该机构继续评估该技术在诱导降雨和支持灭火工作方面的有效性，他补充道。
Indonesia’s President Prabowo Subianto has instructed the agency to continue evaluating the technology’s effectiveness in inducing rainfall and supporting firefighting efforts, he added.
“我们将尽可能有效地继续进行这些（天气改造）行动，直至降雨落下且火灾被扑灭，”克里斯托梅在棉兰接受记者采访时如是说道，据印度尼西亚新闻媒体《商业报》报道。
"We will continue carrying out these (weather modification) operations as effectively as possible until rain falls and the fires are extinguished," Kristomei told reporters in Palembang, as quoted by Indonesian news outlet Bisnis.
“如果该技术被认为有效，成本不高，且可在印尼全国范围内应用，那为什么不呢？”安塔拉通讯社援引他的话报道。
"If this technology is considered effective, does not cost too much and can be applied across Indonesia, then why not?" Antara reported him as saying.
南苏门答腊省长赫尔曼·德鲁在周日表示，目前每天约使用1.6吨干冰，棉兰能见度达到6000米。
South Sumatra Governor Herman Deru said on Sunday that about 1.6 tonnes of dry ice are being used daily, with visibility in Palembang reaching 6,000m.
一名居民站在家门口，观看着2026年9月12日在印度尼西亚南苏门答腊省奥干伊利尔县危险地逼近其住所的野火。
A resident stands and watches as a wildfire rages dangerously close to his home in Ogan Ilir, South Sumatra, Indonesia, on Sep 12, 2026.
棉兰苏丹马哈末·巴达鲁丁二世机场气象站站长西斯旺托报告称，操作期间能见度和空气质量出现波动，结果不一。
Siswanto, the head of Palembang’s Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II Airport Meteorological Station, reported varying results, with visibility and air quality fluctuating during the operation.
他表示，能见度有时会改善，但到了傍晚又会恶化，并补充说，机场的航班运营情况可以作为使用干冰有效性的一个指标。
Visibility improved at times, but deteriorated again towards the evening, he said, adding that flight operations at the airport could serve as an indicator of the effectiveness of using dry ice.
“如果若干班次的航班未被延误或取消，我们可以将其视为干冰有效性的一个指标，”西斯旺托如是说道，据《商业报》援引。
“If several scheduled flights are not delayed or cancelled, we can regard that as one indicator of the effectiveness of dry ice,” Siswanto said, as quoted by Bisnis.
该机构是干冰催化的重点地点之一，因为雾霾已扰乱了航班运营，当地媒体报道。
The airport is one of the priority locations for dry ice seeding as haze has disrupted flight operations, local media reported.
此前当局曾表示，干冰（即固态二氧化碳）正在被测试作为一种替代方法，以削弱困住地面烟雾的大气条件来散发雾霾，从而可能使烟雾上升并改善能见度。
Authorities previously said that dry ice, or solid carbon dioxide, was being tested as an alternative method to disperse haze by weakening atmospheric conditions that trap smoke near the ground, potentially allowing it to rise and improve visibility.
南苏门答腊是印度尼西亚优先开展森林和土地火灾预防与应对的六个省份之一，其他五个省份分别是廖内、占碑、西加里曼丹、中加里曼丹和南加里曼丹。
South Sumatra is among six provinces that Indonesia is prioritising for forest and land fire prevention and response, alongside Riau, Jambi, West Kalimantan, Central Kalimantan and South Kalimantan.
它也是印度尼西亚首个被选中测试干冰技术的省份。政治与安全事务统筹部长杜东·阿卜杜拉赫曼此前曾表示，该测试正在按照普拉博沃的直接指示进行，旨在加快减轻火灾影响的工作。
It is also the first Indonesian province selected to test the dry-ice technique, which Coordinating Minister for Political and Security Affairs Dudung Abdurachman earlier said was being carried out on Prabowo’s direct instructions to accelerate efforts to mitigate the impact of the fires.
