The Science of Superstorms

This is the definitive companion documentary to the Superstorm series, revealing all about the history, science and future of weather modification. With increasing numbers of ever-larger hurricanes attacking the United States' coastline, the pressure has never been greater to come up with a means of defending the millions of lives and assets at risk. And although hurricane modification sounds like stuff of fantasy, the truth of the matter is that scientists really have attempted to modify hurricanes in the past - sometimes with unexpected and devastating consequences. What they've learned will help inform any future attempt to control one of nature's most deadly phenomena - the hurricane.
