Description

Modification experiments on Hurricane Debble on 18 and 20 August 1969 were conducted by Project STORMFURY, a cooperative effort of the Departments of Defense and Commerce. The hurricane decreased in intensity following the "seedings" on each of the days. This paper summarizes the history of the Project, discusses the STORMFURY hypotheses, describes the experiment, reports the results, analyses their significance and outlines future plans of the Project.
