of minor errors can affect the accuracy of weather predictions.

However, the extrapolated values obtained can cause significant errors in the prediction of pollution due to the fact that MH is time and site dependant. Nath and Patil claim that the use of the in situ real time mixing height model they could estimate onsite real time values of the MH from readily available surface measurements of temperature and wind. This data is than combined to a readily available air pollution prediction model to predict the current pollution in the specified area. This model

Impacts of Artificial Climate Modification Controlling the weather. The very idea of it sounds enthralling and, yet, terrifying. Take a moment and think about the endless possibilities. Imagine the scenario: Hurricane Katrina is headed straight for Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas. The loss of life is unthinkable and the amount of damage is insurmountable.
