Weather Modification

Weather modification (also known as weather control) is the act of intentionally manipulating or altering the weather. The most common form of weather modification is cloud seeding, which increases rain or snow, usually for the purpose of increasing the local water supply. Weather modification can also have the goal of preventing damaging weather, such as hail or hurricanes, from occurring; or of provoking damaging weather against the enemy, as a tactic of military or economic warfare like Operation Popeye, where clouds were seeded to prolong the monsoon in Vietnam. Weather modification in warfare has been banned by the United Nations …

is modifying the atmospheric water cycle, via land use, climate change, air pollution, and weather modification. Given the implications of this, we present a theoretical framing of atmospheric water as 'common-pool’ (rival, non-excludable) or 'club’ (non-rival, excludable). Moreover, advancements in weather modification presage water becoming a 'private’ good (i.e. rival, excludable). In this research, we explore

use, cli- mate change, air pollution, and weather modification. Historically, atmospheric water was implicitly air pollution, and more recently also via weather modification. Land-use changes directly affect evaporation popularly known as ENMOD, was intended to ban weather modification for warfare (Bonnheim, 2010; Wunsch, 1980) and China passed its first national law on weather modification in 2002 (Chien et al., 2017).
