Weather Experimentation Bill Passed in California Legislature
5 August 2026 (Updated 27 August)| ZEROGeoengineering.com | CA voters can call Governor Newsom @ (916) 445-2841 and tell him to VETO SB 599. Stop using our atmosphere as a testing lab. Ban Weather Experiments! | Senate Bill 599 passed in the California Senate on May 29, 2026, and was passed in the CA Assembly on August 19th, 2026. Now awaiting the Governor’s signature, SB 599 is related to “atmospheric rivers” weather experimentation. The bill involves “Atmospheric River Reconnaissance (AR Recon), a Research and Operations Partnership” and collaboration between National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the United States Air Force, and the Center for Western Weather and Water Extremes.
The Center for Western Weather and Water Extremes is a partner of the United Nations (UN) WMO World Weather Research Program, which is a UN agency implementing Agenda 21/2030 “Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s). Scroll to related materials below.
SB 599: An act to amend Section 347 of the Water Code, relating to atmospheric rivers.
“…This bill would, for novel forecasting methods researched, developed, and implemented by the department, require the department to include the use of experimental tools that produce seasonal and subseasonal atmospheric river forecasts, as defined.”
“(l) Atmospheric River Reconnaissance (AR Recon), a Research and Operations Partnership (RAOP) with NOAA within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) National Center Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP), Prediction and led by the Center for Western Weather and Water Extremes, leverages National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration NOAA and United States Air Force investments in aircraft-based observations. It observations to improve predictions for various weather conditions, including atmospheric rivers and their intensity. AR Recon is now the leading effort within the National Winter Season Operations Plan for airborne weather reconnaissance.”
“The department shall research, develop, and implement new observations, prediction models, novel forecasting methods, including the use of experimental tools that produce seasonal and subseasonal atmospheric river forecasts, and tailored decision support systems to improve predictions of atmospheric rivers and their impacts on water supply, flooding, post-wildfire debris flows, and environmental conditions.”
