2026 ICAMS National Hurricane Operations Plan
29 June 2026 | ZEROGeoengineering.com | The ICAMS National Hurricane Operations Plan below documents activities related to hurricane research experiments coordinated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in collaboration with other Federal agencies, such as the U.S. Navy, U.S. Air Force Reserve Command (AFRC) 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron (53rd WRS), and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Elements of weather surveillance and experimentation discussed in the report include research aircraft, satellites, Doppler Radar (NEXRAD), sensors, and microwave instruments.
The U.S. has been involved with hurricane research experimentation for decades according to government documentation such as this GAO 1972 report:
Interference with storms via research experiments raises important questions regarding legal, ethical, and environmental considerations.
The Interagency Council for Advancing Meteorological Services (ICAMS) “is the formal mechanism by which all relevant Federal departments and agencies coordinate implementation of policy and practices,” established in 2017 by the Weather Research and Forecasting Innovation Act (Public Law No. 115-25, Title IV, sec. 402, 15 U.S.C. § 8542).
