Inthis, the latest National Academies' assessment of weather modification, the committeewas asked to assess the ability of current and proposed weather modificationcapabilities to provide beneficial impacts on water resource management andweather hazard mitigation. It examines new technologies, reviews advances innumerical modeling on the cloud and mesoscale, and considers how improvementsin computer capabilities might be applied to weather modification. Critical Issues inWeather Modification Research examines the status of the science underlying weathermodification in the United States. It calls for a coordinated national research programto answer fundamental questions about basic atmospheric processes and toaddress other issues that are impeding progress in weather modification. 517 3 $aWeather modification research 606 $aWeather control$xResearch$zUnited States 606 $aWeather forecasting$xResearch$zUnited States 615 0$aWeather control$xResearch 615 0$aWeather forecasting$xResearch 676 $a551.68/072/073 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bBoard on Atmospheric Sciences and Climate. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910969994303321 996 $aCritical issues in weather modification research$94355588 997 $aUNINA
