A proposal to fight tornadoes with multiple connected balloons

Atmospheric and Oceanic Physics 2020-03-03 v2

Abstract

A tornado is an extreme weather condition that can cause enormous damage to human society. In this paper, we propose a low cost, environmentally friendly method to fight against tornadoes using clusters of connected balloons. Deployed over a sufficiently wide area, these large balloons may be able to reduce the wind speed of the tornado, block and disrupt the convective flow of air, and destroy the tornado.
