Slush Science Pitching Finals 2017: Svante Henriksson
summary
Proposal to weaken hurricane eyewalls by injecting turbulence and aerosols to convert a Category 5 into about a Category 1, claiming 40% reduction in peak wind speed and roughly a 200× drop in damage. Method mixes historical Project Stormfury results (Debby weakened in 1969 with 13 airplanes) with modern thousands of simulations on supercomputers to screen options — dry ice, smoke, obstacles, cloud seeding — and aims to trial with on-order dozen airplanes delivering a few tons of particles, with silver iodide impact reported negligible.
