👉 Storm engineering refers to the intentional manipulation of weather patterns and phenomena to achieve specific outcomes, often with the aim of mitigating adverse effects or enhancing beneficial ones. This field combines principles from meteorology, fluid dynamics, and environmental science to design interventions that can influence the formation, intensity, or trajectory of storms. Techniques range from cloud seeding to more advanced methods like the deployment of artificial barriers or the use of high-altitude aircraft to alter atmospheric conditions. The goal can vary from reducing the severity of destructive storms like hurricanes and tornadoes to improving precipitation in drought-prone areas. While storm engineering holds promise for addressing climate-related challenges, it also raises ethical and environmental concerns that necessitate careful consideration and regulation.
