タイフーンショット計画 --台風制御に向けて--

Abstract

This overall goal is to “change typhoons from threats to blessings”, to shift the negative of losses in human lives and property to zero, and extract energy from typhoons. Reducing typhoon losses to zero does not mean preventing all typhoon influences. Instead, damage can be prevented by lowering the forces of typhoons to within manageable wind speeds and rainfall intensities. While typhoons can cause damage, they can also serve as a water resource. They also play an important role in maintaining the global energy balance and ecosystem in the atmosphere and oceans. Thus, the goal aims to control typhoons only when there is a risk that the capacity of the infrastructure designed to withstand these events could be exceeded.
