"Others are engaging even in an eco-type of terrorism whereby they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves. So there are plenty of ingenious minds out there that are at work finding ways in which they can wreak terror upon other nations.It's real, and that's the reason why we have to intensify our efforts, and that's why this is so important."

[Secretary of Defense William Cohen at an April 1997 counterterrorism conference sponsored by former Senator Sam Nunn. Quoted from DoD News Briefing, Secretary of Defense William S. Cohen, Q&A at the Conference on Terrorism, Weapons of Mass Destruction, and U.S. Strategy, University of Georgia , Athens , Apr. 28, 1997].

The above sketch illustrates an aircraft dispensing pyrotechnics doped with silver iodide into a supercooled cloud that is invigorated by the latent heat released as the boundary between liquid and frozen hydrometeors (blue horizontal line in the cloud on the left) moves down to the zero Celsius isotherm (green horizontal line). It was this transformation that the experimenters hoped to use for construction of an artificial outer eyewall during Project STORMFURY.

In the 1960s the US National Weather Service staged a project STORMFURY which aimed to weaken hurricane intensity by introducing ice nuclei at low levels in the updraft region around the cyclone�s eye, i.e. in the eyewall. The theory was that the ice nuclei would trigger freezing down to the 0� C isotherm, rather than at some height above the freezing level (see Fig 1) (4). Therefore the latent heat released by freezing would be concentrated at a lower level, and this energy, together with the latent heat of condensation (which also is released mainly at low levels), would add buoyancy, strengthen the updrafts, and ensure more low-level convergence. This short-lived, but rapid intensification of the hurricane would widen the diameter of the eyewall, which in turn would reduce the wind speed (i.e., the conservation of angular momentum). The Project STORMFURY could not prove the validity of this hypothesis, and hurricanes are no longer seeded (5)
