Ice?




Ice wouldn't last long enough and would be too heavy. We would need
something :
1.lighter than water, perhaps hydrophobe enough to slow evaporation of the
surface water underneath.
2.opaque, light-colored, preferably white, to change the surface albedo as
much as possible.
3.bio-degradable after, say 72 hours
4.cheap, 'cause we'd need A LOT OF IT


Combining this with an "albedo attack" from above (darkening the tops of the
circling, white, hurricane clouds with a dark smoke or haze would warm them
from above, thus lessening the funnel action in the middle, or eye of the
storm.
