Hurricane-killing particles could sabotage storms before they grow
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=203885&nl=daily date,
storm-killing efforts haven't been impactful, largely because tropical
cyclones (TCs) are unpredictable and incredibly challenging to study.
In this latest study, the ANU team has aimed to take the guesswork out
of diffusing a hurricane's power, and used comprehensive geophysical
models to demonstrate how tiny particles of varied shapes can
fundamentally alter a storm's ability to grow. And the earlier they're
deployed into a storm, the better.

"If you use different sizes of aerosols, you get a different impact on
the cyclone, but they all hold promise," said Prinsley. "Our study
shows, for the first time, the impacts of aerosols of varied sizes on
the formation of a tropical cyclone. We found that coarse aerosols
initially dampen vortex acceleration, while fine or ultrafine aerosols
boost it first, but later weaken it more than coarse aerosols."
