Canberra, June 14 -- Strategically dispersing aerosols - microscopic airborne particles - into developing cyclones could disrupt their formation during vulnerable early phases, an Australian study states.
The pioneering study from the Australian National University (ANU) offers a potential breakthrough to mitigate the impact of extreme weather events intensified by climate change, according to an ANU release on Friday.
While previous efforts to modify storms have focused on mature cyclones nearing landfall, this study targets the early stages of cyclone development, where intervention may be more effective, according to the study's lead author, Associate Professor Roslyn Prinsley at the ANU Institute for Climate, Energy and Disaster So...
