Were government-funded researchers attempting to validate their models of how hurricanes could be manipulated through aerosol injections on the periphery of storms?
Homeland Security Is Studying the Modulation of Tropical Cyclones and Tropical Depressions With Aerosol Dumps (Chemtrails)
They are modeling the effects of the targeted insertion of aerosol particulates of varying size and composition to control the intensity of hurricanes.
Excerpts from one report:
"Improving Hurricane Forecasts by Evaluating the Effects of Aerosols on Hurricane Intensity"
Hurricane Aerosol and Microphysics Program (HAMP)
Prepared for the Department of Homeland Security, Science and Technology Directorate,
'...8. Simulate the effects of introduction of aerosols into clouds at the Tropical Cyclone (TC) periphery. Estimate the impact of varying amounts of Cloud Condensation Nuclei (CCN) aerosols and various particle sizes on the storm intensity.
11. Investigate how black carbon aerosols introduced at low levels in a hurricane environment can impact TC intensity. Also investigate how black carbon aerosols introduced above the anvils and over a large area extending beyond the storm impact its intensity.'
'...Likewise, how responsive is a Tropical Cyclone to varying aerosol and moisture amounts in the TC environment and the central core region?
The targeted insertion approach should be used because it provides a more definitive representation of “cause and effect” without the confusing issues about whether or not the aerosol entered outer rainband convection at the right time and place.
... we also plan to investigate how black carbon aerosols introduced at low levels in a hurricane environment can impact Tropical Cyclone intensity.

https://ams.confex.com/ams/29Hurricanes/techprogram/paper_169119.htm
“The feasibility of modifying the Tropical Cyclone intensity by seeding aerosol particles that act as CCN in the outer rainband region is examined in this study.
Preliminary results indicate a significant sensitivity to both the seeding time and the aerosol release rates.”
There is a long history of such experiments to manipulate hurricanes, using aircraft to spray cloud-seeding particulates:
Project Stormfury was an attempt to weaken tropical cyclones by flying aircraft into them and seeding with silver iodide. The project was run by the United States Government from 1962 to 1983.
The last experimental flight was flown in 1971, due to a lack of candidate storms and a changeover in NOAA's fleet. More than a decade after the last modification experiment, Project Stormfury was officially canceled.

Cloud-Seeding To Enhance Storms (Precedents):
"Thirty-five deaths in the infamous Lynmouth flood disaster came only days after RAF rain-making experiments over southern England, it has emerged.
Ninety million tonnes of water swept down the narrow valley into Lynmouth on 15 August, 1952, destroying whole buildings.
Now, a BBC investigation has confirmed that secret experiments were causing heavy rainfall. Classified documents on the trials have gone missing, but people involved have told their story for the BBC Radio Four's Document programme."

Operation Popeye (Project Popeye/Motorpool/Intermediary-Compatriot)
"Operation Popeye was a highly classified weather modification program in Southeast Asia during 1967-1972. The cloud seeding operation during the Vietnam war ran from March 20, 1967 until July 5, 1972 in an attempt to extend the monsoon season, specifically over areas of the Ho Chi Minh Trail.
The operation seeded clouds with both silver iodide and lead iodide, resulting in the targeted areas seeing an extension of the monsoon period an average of 30 to 45 days. As the continuous rainfall slowed down the truck traffic, it was considered relatively successful.
...The chemical weather modification program was conducted from Thailand over Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam and allegedly sponsored by Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and CIA without the authorization of then Secretary of Defense Melvin Laird who had categorically denied to Congress that a program for modification of the weather for use as a tactical weapon even existed."

Top-Secret Tests Conducted Over the US
Large-scale, covert weather modification experiments using cloud-seeding chemical agents were conducted over the United States, in preparation for their use as weapons in Vietnam. According to declassified testimony on this top secret program (which was denied for many years by the pentagon):
“For 7 years we have been conducting, through a contractor, North American Weather Consultants, and with help from the Bureau of Reclamation, a rainfall augmentation experiment in the Santa Barbara area.
The materials and devices were tested in clouds over our ranges and over the southern Sierra Nevada. Samples of our seeding devices were sent to university groups and to other Government agencies so that tests might be conducted by others under realistic conditions.
For 2 years, we carried out experiments in the southern Sierra for the Bureau of Reclamation. Later we cooperated with them in an effort conducted by Fresno State College, to increase the snowpack and the rainfall in the central Sierra Nevada.
The works has gradually passed, from experiments with single clouds to whole groups of clouds, and to components of storm systems.”

Hurricane mitigation by combined seeding with condensation and freezing nuclei
The invention provides method for treating a tropical cyclone, a tropical storm or a tropical depression. The method includes reducing unloading of cloud parcel water in the tropical cyclone, tropical storm or tropical depression. In a preferred embodiment, unloading of cloud parcel water is accomplished by seeding with cloud condensation nuclei, such as sub-micron ammonium sulfate particles.
Seeding 1 kg of hygroscopic particles having diameter of 0.1 μm and density of 2000 kg m"3 can fill homogeneously 1 km3with a concentration of nearly 1000 particles cm"3. If the seeding is applied around the storm into the converging marine boundary layer that feeds the storm clouds, the seeding rate should preferably be matched to the influx rate. ...This is practical with large cargo airplanes having payloads exceeding 100 tons. Seeding the full depth of the marine boundary layer with sub-micron sized particles, such as 0.1 μm hygroscopic particles, at concentrations of several thousands particles cm"3 can be done, for example, by dispersing hygroscopic smoke from 5 to 10 cargo airplanes flying in the boundary layer just outside the storm's spiral cloud bands so that the particles are drawn into the storm by the low level convergence after having sufficient time to adequately mix in the boundary layer. This can be sufficient for a logistically manageable number of airplanes. Fig. 2 shows an example for a track (10) that can be flown by several seeder airplanes seeding the air that flows and feeds the convection in the origin of the spiral bands. For better dispersion, it is preferable to use a larger number of airplanes with a smaller dispersion rate. About 5 to 10 airplanes on the seeding lines can cover the seeding of a tropical cyclone such as the tropical cyclone shown in Fig. 2. ...The seeding agent can be carried in liquid form by air to air refueling tankers that burn the seeding agent into smoke that constitutes the CCN. The combustion of the seeding agent can be done in the aircraft jet engines or in their exhaust. In this case, components from the aircraft fuel and/or oxygen from the ambient air may be utilized so that the mass of the released aerosols exceeds the mass of the seeding agent.
Other methods for dispersing CCN aerosols may also be used in the invention. The CCN seeding should preferably be aimed at the air mass from which the spiral bands of the tropical cyclone feed, and should include at least the full depth of the marine boundary layer (about the lowest 1-km of the atmosphere). The seeding can be done while flying in the lowest kilometer of the storm, preferably at a height of about 1000 feet above the sea surface in the cloud and rain free air, where the wind velocity is below 20 meters/sec, well upstream of the location where that air is ingested into the convective spiral bands. That air mass should be seeded with concentrations that are preferably over 1000 CCN cm"3, and more preferably over 2000 CCN cm"3. This requires flying a distance of tens to a few hundred km in the clear air upwind of the locations where the deep convective tropical cj^clone clouds form, for allowing a good dispersion of the seeded particles in the air mass.
In a most preferred embodiment of the invention, after the cloud parcel has reached the predetermined temperature level, the tropical cyclone is seeded with ice nuclei (IN) in order to freeze super-cooled water (liquid water below 0°C) to release additional latent heat of freezing. Ice nuclei can be seeded using any seeding technology, such as acetone burners or flares. In a preferred embodiment of the invention silver iodide is used as IN. The preferred concentrations are 1-50 IN liter"1, more preferable 15-25 IN liter"1, and active at about -6°C to -8°C. Such concentrations are lower by a factor of about 105 than the CCN concentration, and should not pose any logistical problems. The seeding of CCN and IN can be done from the same airplanes.
