Weather Engineering Methods

Small-Scale Weather Engineering

Through a deeper knowledge of the laws of nature, it is now possible to influence certain meteorological processes on a small scale, especially in order to mitigate weather extremes.

Methods for small-scale Weather Engineering include:

• Frost Protection
• Artificial Rain
• Lightning Deflection
• Hail Cannons
• Protective Forest Strips

Large-Scale Weather Engineering

Influencing the weather or even the climate on a large scale is still at the experimental stage. Various research groups have developed initial theoretical and practical approaches that are being tried out again and again.

Methods for large-scale Weather Engineering include:

• Cloud Seeding
• Hurricane Prevention
• Global Climate (Geoengineering)
