weather control

Atmosphere modification technology

Weather control is the deliberate manipulation of atmospheric conditions—cloud seeding to induce rain, fog dispersal at airports, or hail suppression to protect crops.

The term also covers speculative and fictional technologies for commanding storms, temperature, or precipitation on a larger scale: The villain's weather control device threatened the city with eternal winter.
