How is a hurricane tamed?
A. In the natural sense,in four general ways; (1) by moving over cold water that reduces the heat available to power its engine, (2) by moving over land, where the ocean heat is cut off altogether, (3) by encountering strong vertical shear in the atmospheric horizontal winds around the storm, and/or (4) by being surrounded by profoundly dry conditions in the mid-atmosphere, often coming from the Saraha Desert. Nothing we can do in terms of human intervention so far has shown a significant impact on the strength of a hurricane.
