“This paper describes a high-level plan for the next phase in weather modification science and technology

development, made in response to recent technological and scientific advances and socioeconomic issues.

It will encompass a comprehensive agenda of fundamental and applied research & development efforts directed toward optimizing existing technologies used to manage “treatable” atmospheric processes and conditions, and to allow the development of relevant innovative technologies. It will require a permanent, national program that administers its resources and oversees its activities.”
