History of Weather Modification

Meteorology is the study of weather and weather patterns. People began studying weather in early 350 BC. Aristotle was the first to write and record anything about meteorology. His work was left unchanged for nearly 2,000 years because many people didn’t care for the study as well as it was hard to predict the weather with the small, low-tech instruments that they had. A few weather breakthroughs were made in the early 19th century, but in the 20th century more accurate weather forecasting was developed after the invention of the computer. With this new technology we can now create and prevent rain, as well as stopping a storm from occurring. We have even begun testing new ways to prevent and control hurricanes and tornadoes!
