| Zusammenfassung: | Derrick Sewell has been one of the pioneer students of the societal aspects of weather modification.' Under the sponsorship of the National Center for Atmospheric Research, a National Science Foundation-supported organization, he organized and directed in October 1972 a Symposium on Human Interactions With the Atmosphere. He has now edited the papers prepared for that gathering and had them published as Modifying the Weather: A Social Assessment. In the first chapter of the book Dr. Sewell reports on the state of the art of intentional weather modification.' Scientists have learned that atmospheric processes can be altered by artificially triggering precipitation from clouds through seeding them with substances such as silver iodide. Federal research projects have sought to obtain information about means for increasing winter snowpack, enhancing rainfall from summer cumulus clouds, suppressing lightning, dispersing fog, and altering severe storms.' Private and governmental cloud seeders have constantly improved weather engineering technology.' |
