Summary of the project

To achieve weather control, we need to enable discussion on a bottleneck for decision-making: the way to maximize the effect of control. In this project, we will develop the following technologies in order to compare the “cost of weather control” and the “avoidable damage“, which are indispensable for this discussion.

1. Quantifying Weather Controllability
   We investigate whether there are meteorological separatrixes between disaster and non-disaster scenarios where we may steer the atmosphere toward desirable directions by feasible manipulations.
2. Quantifying Avoidable Damage by the Weather Control
   We develop a framework to estimate economical damage and affected populations throughout Japan under controlled and non-controlled scenario.

Milestone by the end of project (year 2024)

By quantifying weather controllability, establish metrics for judging the feasibility of weather control.
