Abstract
The fields of planned and inadvertent weather are reviewed. The history, major problems, current scientific status, and research needs are assessed. Planned weather modification has been plagued by groups with conflicting interests and views, and most of the major U.S. experiments have failed owing to various problems. Basic research in cloud physics and dynamics is needed but the field now has the expertise and instrumentation to make major advances. Inadvertent weather modification studies have defined many of the urban influences but studies of regional-scale effects from irrigation and aircraft contrails need to be pursued. Studies are recommended to define better the social and environmental impacts from altered weather.
