Cyclone Lusi is headed to northern New Zealand this weekend, and local chemtrail believers are getting all hot and bothered by it - Cyclone Lusi & The Evidence Of Weather Modification
I was particularly interested by this bit:
the fact that DHS asked NOAA to carry out this research is also of considerable interest to the CT's who have noticed the programme.
the extracts above are from 2010 - so it is a reasonable question to ask what has happened since then - a scholar search on google finds 4 pages of articles - but none since 2010, and of course many are repeats of others.
In conclusion it seems as if HAMP was initially about measuring the distribution and effects of aerosols in hurricanes and cyclones, with a view to experimenting with various methods to alter their characteristics, including possibly seeding with carbon black. such seeding would of course not look anything like the alleged aerosol spraying identified by Northland New Zealand Chemtrails Watch.
However HAMP seems to have stopped producing any information since 2010, with nothing available beyond the measurement phases. I suspect this will be taken by some as evidence of its success and being made a black op so as to be removed from the public eye!
And lastly, HAMP was not around in 2005 when it allegedly was used to affect Katrina as suggested in the article.

so I went to the link provided and read the summary of the session provided here - and it seems that indeed Hurricane modification is "on the table again" al la Project Stormfury from the 60's and 70's:Weather Modification under the DHS, Hurricane Aerosol Microphysics Program (HAMP): The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has been operating under operation “HAMP” to modify hurricanes. In a presentation to the American Meteorological Society, Joe Golden confirmed that tropical cyclones could be weakened or intensified depending on how aerosols are deployed within the circulation.
so there is a grain of truth here - although it is clearly not that storms are currently being geo-engineered by any visible aerosols such as the cirrus clouds Clare Swinney tries to make people scared of on her website.HAMP has 3 overarching objectives. The first one is to establish a strong theoretical foundation to determine the effects on cloud microphysical processes of utilizing pollution-sized hygroscopic aerosol seeding and/or black carbon seeding. A second objective is to determine the effects of aerosols on hurricane intensity. Recently-published research suggests that seeding hurricanes with small (pollution-sized) hygroscopic aerosol concentrations can lead to significant reductions in hurricane intensity (Rosenfeld et al., 2007; Cotton et al., 2007). A third objective is to specify quantitatively the effects of carbon black seeding within the storm circulation. This will involve broadcast seeding of black carbon aerosol either in the boundary layer on the storm periphery or alternatively over the anvil tops of the hurricane. Both hypotheses are viable, physically plausible scenarios but neither has been explored quantitatively. Later phases of HAMP may examine the effects of artificially-induced ocean cooling in advance of hurricanes on their possible weakening.
