Show No more beating drums, dancing!!! by Donald J. Frederick National Geographic News Service A new breed of rain- makers has replaced the traveling confidence men who once bilked desperate farmers. They are scientists working in a broad field called weather modification. And although they dont make wild claims or release secret gases to create rain, they have in some cases changed the weather, the National Geographic Society reports. Optimism about the results achieved so far was reflected in a recent report by a citizens panel set up by Congress that urges a concerted 20-ye- weather ar resources management program to tap those potential rivers and snowbanks in the sky. The plan envisions current doubling weather research spending to $37 million and raising the ante to $90 million by the fifth year. selected vast agricultural area that takes in west Texas, target areas. this summers studies confirm the If promising results Dr. Merlin C. Williams, director of NOAAs weather modification programs, told the National Geographic Society. Since the hurricane season is so short and our testing guidelines so strict, we'll be lucky to treat a hurricane a year. We figure it would be at least 120 years before we can get enough meaningful data, unless we can get permission from foreign governments to work in other areas, for instance off the west coast of Mexico and the northwest coast of Australia. NOAAs Floiida rainmakers seem closer to solid conclusions. For six tists of plan a new series of tsts, applying the knowledge theyve gained in Florida to an area in the midwestern corn belt centered in central and southern Illinois.

Given the right set of circumstances, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, in a project called Stormfury, will revive attempts begun in the early 1960s, and abandoned after 1971, to defang killer hurricanes. If the right storm comes along this summer or fall, five heavily in- strumented aircraft willleave Miami or San Juan to meet it head on. After seeding the storm with particles of silver iodide, the flying laboratories will then return to measure the effects. The seeding technique proved most successful on Hurricane Debbie in 1969 when winds one day were slowed as much as 30 percent. The day after, with no seeding, the storm reintensified. Stormfury s weather warriors shy away from claims of even partial victory based on a single We need to success. treat at least 10 to 12 more of these big hur- II. S.
