This can be either intentional, as with cloud seeding, or unintentional, as with air pollution, which increases aerosol concentrations and reduces sunlight (增加降雨，主要是借助云层胶体稳定性的变化造成降水。这可以刻意为之，如在云层散步降雨剂，或无意的，如空气污染，气溶胶浓度的增加，减少了阳光照射。) |
| 图像增强、影像强化 | image enhancement In remote sensing, the filtering of data and other processes to manipulate pixels to produce an image that accentuates features of interest or visual interpretation (在遥感技术中的资料过滤与其他程序，其目的是通过控制像素，产生能突显特征或视觉解释的影像。) |

| 增加 | build-up |
| 增氧比 | oxygen enhancement ratio |
| 增稠 | thickening Any process beyond gravity sedimentation that increases the concentration of solids in sludge with or without the use of chemical flocculants (有或没有化学絮凝剂的使用，使物质超越重力沉降过程，从而增加了污泥中的固体浓度。) |
| 污垢增长 | fouling growth The adhesion of different marine organisms to the underwater parts of ships, causing the ships to loose speed (不同的海洋生物附着在船舶的水下部分，使船速度减慢。) |
