| Abstract from DBPedia | Weather modification is the act of intentionally manipulating or altering the weather. The most common form of weather modification is cloud seeding, which increases rain or snow, usually for the purpose of increasing the local water supply. Weather modification can also have the goal of preventing damaging weather, such as hail or hurricanes, from occurring; or of provoking damaging weather against the enemy, as a tactic of military or economic warfare like Operation Popeye, where clouds were seeded to prolong the monsoon in Vietnam. Weather modification in warfare has been banned by the United Nations under the Environmental Modification Convention.気象制御（きしょうせいぎょ、英語：weather control、weather modification）とは気象を人工的に操作したり制御したりすることである。気象改変、気象調節、気象コントロール、天候制御とも言う。 (Source: http://dbpedia.org/resource/Weather_modification) |
