Tropical cyclone motion can be said by using beta-method and environmental steering methods?
Is there any other methods available to affect cyclone motion? Briefly answer
You can watch this week, as the Cyclone Fani, instead of making landfall in the middle of India, is getting pushed by the wall of the Pakistan-Arabia Dust Cloud at 120 degrees off track towards the NE, to smack right in the center of Bangladesh. You can see from comparing the daily NAAPS dust cloud images with the storm track, that it only takes 20-40 micrograms of atmospheric dust per cubic meter, to make a tropical cyclone change its path? Instead, if we eliminate the atmospheric dust clouds, by replanting those areas with local native plants, then we could have the rain clouds come back naturally, and direct the rainfall from cyclones to desert areas, rather than create floods for the people of Bangladesh later on this week?
