Lightning suppression experiments show reduced storm electricity
In Colorado, scientists from NOAA completed a six week field test seeding thunderstorms with metallized nylon fibers to dissipate storm electrical fields. The project led by Dr. Heinz Kasemir says suppression could cut forest fires from lightning, though impractical over urban areas due to radar interference. A prior study occurred near Flagstaff, Arizona, in 1966-67, with further studies planned. The team used a propeller driven B26 plane to release the chaff into clouds.
