American Meteorological Society meeting on weather modification

Improvements to methods of tracking and recording weather patterns finally make it possible to properly test technologies designed to alter them, say experts. Weather modification attempts to bring rain to dry areas, or divert storms. But decades of tests have generated only heated arguments and even lawsuits. All techniques developed so far are essentially unproven. But new weather tracking technology can change that, said delegates at an American Meteorological Society meeting on weather modification this week.
