Hiroshima University: In recent years, the frequency of weather-related natural disasters – cyclones, torrential rains, floods – has increased as a consequence of global warming. These disasters cause billions of dollars in damage and losses every year. As a result, there is great interest in weather control, the process by which human intervention can deliberately alter the weather.
Modeling weather interventions via computational modeling is the primary means by which weather interventions are studied. However, as weather is a vast and complex system, state-of-the-art numerical weather prediction (NWP) models of interventions are highly limited, requiring enormous computational resources.
A team of researchers led by Hiroshima University have applied black-box optimization algorithms to rainfall control and have demonstrated that they can be used to model rainfall minimization through weather control.
