"Two basic experiments have been proposed for Project STORMFURY operations 1969.
In the Eyewall Experiment, seeding and monitoring of the changes in the structure and circulation of a well-developed hurricane will be attempted, if nature provides the proper storm at the right time and place.
Hurricane seeding will be done at two-hour intervals over an eight-hour period.
The rainband experiment consists of four primary objectives: namely,
(1) Conduct a detailed, dynamic and thermodynamic investigation of the rainband;
(2) Carry out seeding experiments to determine if the basic character of the rainband can be changed by seeding;
(3) study the role the rainband plays in the total storm structure;
and (4) investigate how its modification might affect the total behavior of the storm."
