Abstract
One day mankind may be capable of controlling the weather on a global scale. The key
factor enabling control of the weather is that the atmosphere appears to be chaotic
and chaos implies sensitivity to small perturbations. Extreme sensitivity to initial
conditions suggests that small perturbations to the atmosphere may effectively
control the evolution of the atmosphere if the atmosphere is observed and modeled
sufficiently well. It is shown that four-dimensional variational analysis dex
four-dimensional variational analysis (4d-VAR) is a data assimilation technique that
has promise for calculating optimal perturbations for weather modification.
Experiments described here demonstrate the ability of 4d-VAR to calculate
perturbations to influence the evolution of a simulated tropical cyclone. In “damage
cost function” experiments described here, 4d-VAR simultaneously minimizes the size
of the initial perturbation and an estimate of property loss that depends on wind
speed. In these experiments the hurricane surface winds decrease over the built-up
area at landfall. It is as if the simulated hurricane "blinks its eye" at a
precisely controlled time. The optimal perturbations usually include
quasi-axisymmetric features centered on the hurricane. It appears that the
perturbation evolves as a concentric wave disturbance that propagates to a focus at
the hurricane center, and converts the kinetic energy of the hurricane into thermal
potential energy at the appropriate time. The hurricane surface winds regenerate
soon thereafter, so a continuous series of perturbations may be needed in practice.
Experiments are described with different control vectors, including all prognostic
variables, temperature only, and temperature only outside of the center core of the
hurricane. The temperature only experiments suggest that precisely prescribed
heating might serve to control hurricanes and other weather phenomena in the future.
Microwave heating dex Microwave heating rate calculations are presented in support
of the concept of dual use space solar power satellites for electric power and for
weather control. These calculations show that by tuning within the 183 GHz water
vapor absorption interval it would be possible to control the height of the maximum
heating. The prototype experiments presented here suggest that global weather
control will eventually become a reality especially since many of the supporting
disciplines will naturally evolve at a rapid pace. The costs associated with recent
damaging hurricanes should cause this pace to accelerate. It is plausible that two
generations from now controlling the global weather may be within the capabilities
and resources of several nations or groups of nations. In the future, NASA’s mission
may explicitly include mention of research to control the weather for the benefit of
mankind

I note this particular bit as being very possibly what is happening at an accelerating pace these days:

|
|
Mr. Scott Stevens of WeatherWars dot Info, as I mentioned in an earlier post, was talking about "acoustic nodes," in a writeup he did on his site, dated Summer 2007. I find what he quotes (an article entitled "Acoustic node calibration using a moving source," by Cevher, V.; McClellan, J.H. dated from 2006) to be rather less pertinent to the subject of chemtrails than another (more recent) article which I have seen mentioned at "CRREL."
| Scott Stevens wrote: |
That being said, are these chemtrail planes equipped to find, and precisely so apparently, these moving acoustic nodes that are now largely responsible for the worlds manipulated weather?
These chemtrail flights are an absolute requirement for the weather engineers to maintain their hold on our weather. These trails can be used precisely to align the airborne wave generators to get the desired resonate effect in the atmosphere where these warplanes fly.
|
From what I can make of Mr. Stevens' comment, he is now saying that a LOT of planes are flying around using "acoustic nodes" and "airborne [acoustic?] wave generators" in some manner (I can't quite establish which does what to whom there, in his statements). I guess it's like a "sound cannon" is whacking the clouds into ripples. Well, I guess it could be, but meanwhile, there is apparently some other "acoustic" research going on. Is what Stevens says a kernel of info in a NUT of Disinfo?
Perhaps this is the REAL meaning currently, for acoustic research: to aid the modeling.

CRREL Researcher Presents Invited Paper at IMAGe Workshop
[Posted 6/18/08] Dr. Keith Wilson presented an invited paper at the NSF-sponsored
Institute for Mathematics Applied to Geosciences (IMAGe) Theme-of-the-Year Workshop
"Observing the Turbulent Atmosphere: Sampling Strategies, Technologies, and
Applications," which was held in Boulder, Colorado, from 28–30 May. The title of the
paper was "Acoustic tomography techniques for observing atmospheric turbulence" and
was co-authored by Vladimir Ostashev (NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory) and
Sergey Vecherin (New Mexico State University and CRREL). It described an innovative
method for mapping the wind velocity and temperature fields in the near-ground
atmosphere based on travel times of acoustic impulse signals. This fits with the
ERDC Business Area Geospatial Research and Engineering and supports the CRREL's
Signature Propagation Technical Area.

CRREL Researcher Submits Journal Article on Waves in Complex Environments
[Posted 6/18/08] Dr. Keith Wilson, CRREL research physical scientist, was lead
author on the article entitled, "Sound-wave coherence in atmospheric turbulence with
intrinsic and global intermittency." The joint effort by D. K. Wilson, V. E.
Ostashev, and G. H. Goedecke has been accepted for publication in the Journal of the
Acoustical Society of America. The article describes a statistical model for
intermittent (uneven) distribution of scatterers and its effect on wave propagation.
The model can be used to characterize wave propagation and sensor performance in
complex natural and man-made environments such as atmospheric turbulence, forests,
urban terrain, and near-surface geology. This fits with the ERDC Business Area
Geospatial Research and Engineering and supports the CRREL's Signature Propagation
Technical Area.

Meanwhile, the U. S. military officially admits to "Chaff" and so on. I dug up an old presentation (not sure of the date) and it is currently at this link:
from the days of OTW I guess, late 90's or maybe early 2000's
This is talking about AFWA (Air Force Weather Agency).
The interesting thing I saw was something that retrospectively echoes what I said (so to speak, since I had not seen this PDF when I made my earlier comment that sounds like this) by way of a mention of 4-D Var and MPP's, namely "four-dimensional variational data assimilation procedure in operational timelines on a massively parallel processing computer."
| Quote: |
Contrail analysis and prediction schemes are nearing completion, comparing the skill
of the AFWA operational contrail scheme with a statistical model developed from
contrail field experiments. An extensive evaluation of the MM5 model is underway as
a forecast source from which optical turbulence models can diagnose conditions
adverse to the Airborne Laser (ABL) mission. Finally, a 3 year project has begun
that will demonstrate the feasibility of executing a mesoscale four-dimensional
variational data assimilation procedure in operational timelines on a massively
parallel processing computer.
Cloud Modeling and Simulation.
The Cloud Scene Simulation Model (CSSM) has become the cornerstone for in-house,
service-sponsored projects to provide physically and radiometrically accurate cloud
simulations. These projects provide capabilities needed in the Modeling and
Simulation (M&S) community for consistent, physically based synthetic atmospheres to
drive war-gaming,training, system design studies, etc.
The AFRL focus this past year has been in areas such as: (1) transitioning a
cloud/NWP model data fusion approach to the exploitation of National Technical Means
data,(2) designing an extension of the CSSM to support campaign-level simulations in
infrared wavebands, and (3) performing a military utility analysis for the National
Polar-orbiting Operational Satellite System (NPOESS). CSSM has reached a point of
maturity where it is routinely used in war-gaming demonstrations and exercises (for
the Air Force and Navy) and in the conduct of data impact/sensitivity.

By modulating the ambient current flowing in the ionosphere, e.g., the auroral electrojet, it is possible to generate extremely low frequency (ELF) and very low frequency (VLF) radiation. This ionospheric modification technique can provide such waves for probing both the Earth and the ionosphere- magnetosphere. The modification occurs in the lower D-region and can provide information about the ambient conditions in one of the least diagnosed regions of the ionosphere.
The electrojet is modulated by using a high frequency heater (a few MHZ) with the power modulated at the desired ELF/VLF frequency to heat the ionospheric electrons in the lower D-region. Figure 1a shows a sketch of the heater and heated region. The heated region is typically at 75 km (though this depends upon the carrier frequency) and can be 30 km in diameter and a few km thick. Viewed from above (see Figure 1b) the heated region is a roughly circular patch. The smoothness of the heated region depends upon the antenna radiation pattern as well as D-region conditions. The heating increases the electron-neutral collision rate which changes the conductivities. Since on ELF time scales the ambient electric field is constant, modulating the conductivity produces a current modulated at the same frequency. At these altitudes the conductivity change is predominantly in the Hall conductivity. If the ambient electric field, E, is in ±y direction, a time varying current perturbation is generated, j, in the ±x direction (Fig. 1b). The time varying current launches waves both up and down the Earth's magnetic field. In the simulations shown here, we start with a time-varying current and study the downward propagating waves and how they couple into the Earth-ionospheric wave guide.
Animations
The animations show 5 different representations of the same simulation. The simulation uses a time-varying current perturbation (1 kHz) in the D-region at 75 km. The current is in the magnetic east-west direction. The Earth's magnetic field is vertical. The simulation box is 1800 by 1800 by 120 km. Isosurfaces are shown for the absolute value of the horizontal magnetic field ABSB and of the vertical electric field ABSEZ. Also shown is the east-west magnetic field in the near-field BX1 and in the far-field BX2. Since the field amplitude falls off with distance, BX1 uses a order-of-magnitude larger isosurface value than BX2 to emphasize the field close to the site. The north- south magnetic field is shown in BY1 and BY2. These plots look slightly different from the absolute value plots where both the positive and negative surfaces were shown. Also BX and BY do have a different orientation of the their radiation patterns. The direction of the radiation is determined by the total horizontal field shown in ABSB and by the vertical electric field shown in ABSEZ. The radiation pattern in the earth-ionosphere waveguide is a combination of a linear dipole antenna and a right-hand circular antenna. At ELF frequencies because of low D-region absorption the dipole is dominant. The dipole radiates in the magnetic east-west direction.
Because 1 kHz is below cutoff the mode in the waveguide is a TEM mode. The mode consists of a horizontal B field perpendicular to the direction of propagation and a vertical electric field. With perfect conductors, the mode is uniform in the vertical direction. As the wave propagates in the waveguide, the top of the wave is approximately at the bottom of the ionosphere. Above the heated region, waves are also launched along the Earth's magnetic field. In the near-field ( BX1 and BY1) one can see the pulse being radiated downward. It strikes the ground and reflects back up to the ionosphere. Part of the energy propagates up the field lines into the ionosphere. This is the bubble seen rising up. The D-region is highly collisional and damps this wave. Looking at BX2 and BY2 one can see that the energy mainly stays in the waveguide. If one looks closely at the top of the wave in the waveguide the wave appears to be curved. The waveguide mode is coupling into the bottom of the D-region and driving a whistler mode up the field lines. The whistlers have a much lower velocity than the waveguide mode and can only propagate along the field lines. This acts to curve the top of the waves. These waves help form the bubble that propagates up the field line. Because of this, the diameter of the bubble is much larger than the heated region.
Above the heated region in ABSEZ one can see a pair of coils revolving around each other. These are the currents that flow up and down the Earth's magnetic field forming the current loops associated with the waves propagating up the field lines. Finally, EZ1 is a blow-up of the high-altitude portion of the vertical electric field for positive values of the electric field; the current loop is more clearly seen.
More details can be found in Rowland et al., JGR, 101, 27027, 1996 and Rowland, JGR, 104, 4319, 1999.

Thanks BlueSkyHope and Lophofo for your contributions. It's good to know there is at least one chemtrail forum grounded in reality.
I didn't know where to ask this, and I'm sorry if this is off-topic, but have either of you any opinions on the debunker argument about turbine engines being responsible for our "new and improved" contrails?
One would think that if this were the case, then this argument would have been posted to the yin-yang. I've only seen it a few times. Hertzberg as Navari at BreakForNews hammered away at me with this one. It is also a general debunking point found at Wikipedia.
Debunkers have an answer for everything, don't they? When the video came out from China from right before the earthquake, the word was that those were earthquake lights. So how come such lights are being witnessed also where there has been no reported earthquake activity?
There's simply no place to go where good questions are asked and answered. Everything is being whittled down to that zany script starring closed-minded debunkers and crazy believers.

I forgot to add this one in, from the previous RDT&E. I had noted there was mention of 0603216F Aerospace Propulsion and Power Technology (turbine engines, etc.).
Maybe that is where that disinfo bunch is getting THAT little ditty. I have also noted elsewhere out in searches that the military is bent on going to 'biofuel' (AKA 'synfuel') so as not to be so totally dependent on [nasty, complicated (politically, etc.), possibly Peaking, certainly expensive] oil SO much.
Unfortunately, for the environment that is, what that really consists of, supposedly, is half each of jet fuel and coal-derived fuel.
Air Force and Synfuel
Here is a link that explains more on the turbine engine thing, too (also search on 0603216F in RDT&E Doc noted above in prior post).

Awesome finds on what the government is up to with our money, BlueSkyHope! I am checking out the material you have posted.
I also enjoyed the info you posted earlier which talked about global weather control. That was a gem of a find.
