Atmospheric Geoengineering + Historic rainfall/cloud coverage

Jonty Piers made this Official Information request to National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research Limited

The request was successful.

From: Jonty Piers

Kei te rangatira, tēnā koe National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research Limited,

Kia ora koutou.

1) Can you please provide historic Aotearoa New Zealand rainfall levels. The data re https://niwa.co.nz/education-and-trainin... only goes so far upto 2010. This data is more than a decade old. Please provide Mean monthly rainfall (mm) from 01 January 2010 to 27 February 2023.

2) Can you please provide historic Aotearoa New Zealand okta levels i.e. the unit of measurement used to describe the amount of cloud cover at any given location such as a weather station. Can these please be provided in mean montly amounts from the beginning of when data was received to 27 February 2023.

I refer to a publicly available 2011 slideshow 'A quick fix with a silver lining' - Atmospheric Geoienginerring retrieved today: https://www.royalsociety.org.nz/assets/d.... It mentions NIWA as a linked organisation on the slides.

I have seen lots of "questionable accusations" about the recent (and almost coinciding) Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland Floods, Cyclone Gabrielle and Waihi Beach Tornado, and just want to know if there is any association between 'Atmospheric Solar Radiation Management listed on slide 12 of the aforementioned slideshow: Stratospheric sultur aerosols, reflective aerosols/dust, cloud methods such as cloud ehitening, cloud seeding, ocean sulfur cycle enchancement, reflective balloons, low stratospheric soot and air capture (CDR).

This is relevant because there is constant debate about climate change and aggressive policies that might be required to combat it without transparent and legitimate public consultation. The common debate is that one believes climate change is a natural process and another believes it is man made. If it is man made, is there any proof man-made projects such as cloud-seeding contribute to floods or increased weather events like cyclones rather than the well-known cause being carbon dioxide in the atmosphere warming up the planet.

=============================================================
One google search of "cloud-seeding' will provide you with results such as the following:

-"Rainmaking experiments boom amid worsening drought......[Its a new spin on decades-old practice known as "cloud seeding", or efforts to boost precipitation by spraying special particles into the air"

-"Cloud-seeding to be used to control fires in Thailand....[The Royal Rain-making and Agricultural Avaiation Department is expected to be cloud-seeding from this Saturday]

-"1st cloud seeding site in Front Range launches in Boulder country"

_"Airplane starts cloud seeding operation in Boyolali, Indonesia [People watch as an airplane flies during an operation of cloud seeding in Boyolali, Central Java, Indonesia"

-"Geoengineering for Climate Change Is Big, Ambitious [A Chinese worker fires rockets for cloud seeding in Huangp]"

-"$7.69 Bn Global Cloud Seeding Market Size Expected to Grow"

-"How states across the West are using cloud seeding to make it rain...[When done aerially, cloud seeding involves loading up a plane with silver iodide. Flares are placed on the wings and fuselage.]"

-"Making it rain: Cloud seeding to combat drought"

-"Dodging silver bullets: how cloud seeding could go wrong...[Cloud seeding is perhaps the ultimate silver bullet, in which literal silver in the form of silver iodide is infused into clouds]

-"Dubai artificially creating rainstorms with drones and electricity...[Dubai is making it rain in a sweltering desert by zapping clouds with electricity using drones.

A similar process has actually been going on for decades by using aircraft, cannons, and now drones to push silver iodide up into the atmosphere to heat clouds and make them rain-producing]"

Then at the same time the same google search provides you with the following search results:

"The Whole Truth: No, cloud seeding isn’t causing all this awful weather...[The claims were seen on several Telegram groups and Facebook pages...The notion that the weather is artificially controlled by state actors has a long history in conspiracy theory movements. It is often linked to theories about “chemtrails”, in which chemicals are supposedly sprayed in the atmosphere to make people sick or to control the weather, a claim that has been widely debunked.]

"Fact check: Fact check: False claim geoengineering is behind climate change....[Scientists say there is no evidence to support either of these claims. Geoengineering technologies are still being developed, and no large-scale experiments or operations have been conducted].

"Australia floods: Unfounded cloud seeding claims spread online...[Experts say no single factor can explain this extreme weather, pointing instead to warmer oceans and saturated soils as contributing factors...But conspiracy theorists aren't buying it. On social media, they blame the extreme rainfall on "cloud seeding" and "weather manipulation". There is no evidence to back up such theories, but this hasn't prevented falsehoods from reaching thousands of people online.]

From the above examples I have shown you I have taken no side to either argument (merely by providing less examples for the latter viewpoint does not mean I support or deny). My problem is that we are getting mixed messages from media who are supposed to be the impartial, honest and truthful Fourth Estate. I personally don't know but it is true the oceans have become warmer and climate change is likely to be the cause.

The examples I provided above are from legitimate websites, some mainstream and some less well known. You can see the confusion one must hold when reading completly contradictory information pushed on us in an online age with no news from you guys. On one hand cloud seeding has been occuring globally for decades making rain to help irrigate crops, and on the other to bring up cloud seeding and associate it with unprecedented weather events is a tin-foil hat conspiracy theory.

Can you please clarify this information please?
============================================

As a fair and honest kiwi I don't want to go down the 'conspiracy theorist' rabbit hole and I am no scientist and do not want to make or share scientific conclusions with no objectivity, legitmacy, and validity. I am just curious if any of the atmospheric geoenginerring is happening here in Aotearoa, as there is a 'off' feeling about recent weather that has been odd for a kiwi summer period. Aroha mai as I may be entirely wrong and I reiterate I am no scientist and greatly appreciate the mahi you guys do to keep us all safe.

Kia ora Jonty,

Thank you for your request.

You can access rainfall data for New Zealand from the National Climate Database at https://cliflo.niwa.co.nz/. Okta data are available up until the early 2000s. Cloud layer and amount information are available from a number of locations, but not total cloud amount. All new user information is under the ‘Help’ section.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change provides regular assessments of the scientific basis of climate change, its impacts and future risks, and options for adaptation and mitigation. You can find comprehensive assessment reports on their website here: https://www.ipcc.ch/reports/

We are not aware of any organisations in New Zealand involved in geoengineering.

Please note, under section 28(3) of the Act, you have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision.

Dear Enquiries,

Thank you for you email.

1. "You can access rainfall data for New Zealand from the National Climate Database at https://cliflo.niwa.co.nz/. Okta data are available up until the early 2000s. Cloud layer and amount information are available from a number of locations, but not total cloud amount. All new user information is under the ‘Help’ section"

There is no information on rainfall post 2010 on that link. Please answer where to find this. Also, why were okta levels being measured stopped after the early 2000s?

2. "We are not aware of any organisations in New Zealand involved in geoengineering". What does this comment mean. Does it mean NIWA is not aware of any organisations based in New Zealand involved in geoenginerring but organisations outside of New Zealand involved. That was not my question.

My question is this.

Is NIWA aware of any individual, legal entity, organization, company, society, charity or group from New Zealand OR any individual, legal entity, organization, company, society, charity, intergovernmental body from another country, territory, or a country/terriorty acting exclusively, involved in geoenginerring of a target area over the mainland of New Zealand or New Zealand’s territorial sea or its Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) or its continental shelf (including all areas of the Extended Continental Shelf outer limits of the EEZ and NZ-AUS 2004 Delimination Treaty) ("New Zealand territory") OR, any area of land outside New Zealand territory that consequently results in any weather event shifting i.e. downwind into New Zealand territory due to unintended consequences of geo-enginerring tools i.e. cloud seeding.

Yours sincerely,

Jonty Piers

Kia ora Jonty,

Thank you for your email.

The CliFlo database holds data from 6,500 climate stations which have been operating for various periods since the earliest observations were made in 1850. The database continues to receive data from over 600 stations that are currently operating.

Rainfall data after 2010 is available, depending on the location you are looking at. For example, if you are looking at a station that stopped operating in 2010, there will be no data available for that station after that time. If you require help accessing data, you can email [email address] for assistance.

Up until the early 2000s there was a move from manual observation systems to automatic observation systems. Manual observations provided total cloud amount whereas automatic stations do not. Individual cloud layer and amount information are still measured from a number of locations, but not total cloud amount.

NIWA is not aware of any geoengineering activity occurring in New Zealand.

Please note, under section 28(3) of the Act, you have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision.

Is NIWA aware of any individual, legal entity, organization, company, society, charity or group from New Zealand OR any individual, legal entity, organization, company, society, charity, intergovernmental body from another country, territory, or a country/terriorty acting exclusively, involved in geoenginerring of a target area over the mainland of New Zealand or New Zealand’s territorial sea or its Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) or its continental shelf (including all areas of the Extended Continental Shelf outer limits of the EEZ and NZ-AUS 2004 Delimination Treaty) ("New Zealand territory") OR, any area of land outside New Zealand territory that consequently results in any weather event shifting i.e. downwind into New Zealand territory due to unintended consequences of geo-enginerring tools i.e. cloud seeding.

Yours sincerely,

Jonty Piers

HAARP - details and its capabilities from the main HAARP patent (4,686,605):
1) Can lift a portion of the atmosphere: "excitation of electron cyclotron resonance is sufficient to
cause movement of a plasma region along said diverging magnetic field lines to an altitude higher
than the altitude at which said excitation was initiated"
2) Move portions of the atmosphere: "rising plasma region pulls with it a substantial portion of neutral
particles of the atmosphere which exist in or near said plasma region"
3) Causes energy waves in the ionosphere: "second radiation excites plasma waves within
ionosphere "
4) Alters selected regions of the atmosphere: "This invention relates to a method and apparatus for
altering at least one selected region normally existing above the earth's surface and more particularly
relates to a method and apparatus for altering said at least one region by initially transmitting
electromagnetic radiation from the earth's surface essentially parallel to and along naturally-occurring,
divergent magnetic field lines which extend from the earth's surface through the region or regions to
be altered"
5) HAARP uses barium as part of its wave-carrying plasma: "It has also been proposed to release
large clouds of barium in the magnetosphere so that photoionization will increase the cold plasma
density, thereby producing electron precipitation through enhanced whistler-mode interactions"
6) Charges or ionizes regions of particles in the atmosphere: "Sufficient energy is employed to cause
ionization of neutral particles (molecules of oxygen, nitrogen and the like, particulates, etc.) which
then become a part of the region thereby increasing the charged particle density of the region. This
effect can further be enhanced by providing artificial particles, e.g., electrons, ions, etc., directly into
the region to be affected from a rocket, satellite, or the like to supplement the particles in the
naturally-occurring plasma. These artificial particles are also ionized by the transmitted
electromagnetic radiation thereby increasing charged particle density of the resulting plasma in the
region"
7) Causes oscillation (pulses) of energy at specific locations in the atmosphere: "Sufficient power can
be applied so that the altered plasma can be trapped on the field line between mirror points and will
oscillate in space for prolonged periods of time. By this embodiment, a plume of altered plasma can
be established at selected locations for communication modification or other purposes"
8) Propagates selected frequency waves throughout the ionosphere: "The amplitude of the frequency
of the main beam and/or the second beam or beams is modulated in resonance with at least one
known oscillation mode in the selected region or regions to excite the known oscillation mode to
propagate a known frequency wave or waves throughout the ionosphere"
9) Can be used to interfere with, or enhance, communications: "this invention provides the ability to
put unprecedented amounts of power in the earth's atmosphere at strategic locations and to maintain
the power injection level, particularly if random pulsing is employed, in a manner far more precise and
better controlled than heretofore accomplished by the prior art, particularly by the detonation of
nuclear devices of various yeilds at various altitudes....Thus, it can be seen that the disrupting effects
achievable by this invention can be employed to benefit by the party who is practicing this invention
since knowledge of the various electromagnetic waves being employed and how they will vary in
frequency and magnitude can be used to an advantage for positive communication and
eavesdropping purposes at the same time"
10) Weather modification: "Weather modification is possible by, for example, altering upper
atmosphere wind patterns or altering solar absorption patterns by constructing one or more plumes of
atmospheric particles which will act as a lens or focusing device"
11) Can change the molecular structure of locations in the atmosphere: "Molecular modifications of
the atmosphere can take place so that positive environmental effects can be achieved. Besides
actually changing the molecular composition of an atmospheric region, a particular molecule or
molecules can be chosen for increased presence. For example, ozone, nitrogen, etc. concentrations
in the atmosphere could be artificially increased. Similarly, environmental enhancement could be
achieved by causing the breakup of various chemical entities such as carbon dioxide, carbon
monoxide, nitrous oxides, and the like"
12) Transportation of material across the atmosphere: "Transportation of entities can also be realized
when advantage is taken of the drag effects caused by regions of the atmosphere moving up along
diverging field lines. Small micron sized particles can be then transported, and, under certain
circumstances and with the availability of sufficient energy, larger particles or objects could be
similarly affected. Particles with desired characteristics such as tackiness, reflectivity, absorptivity,
etc., can be transported for specific purposes or effects"
13) The earth's magnetic field can be disrupted: "The earth's magnetic field could be decreased or
disrupted at appropriate altitudes to modify or eliminate the magnetic field in high Compton electron
generation regions.
14) Electrical fields can be created in the atmosphere: "High intensity, well controlled electrical fields
can be provided in selected locations for various purposes"
HAARP - details of its capabilities from its inventor, Dr. Bernard Eastlund:
1) Telecommunications - mobile phones, Long haul communication
2) Atmospheric Heating - Controlled heating of specific atmospheric regions, Controlling electrical
conductivity of atmosphere
3) Weather Research - Modification of steering winds, Modification of electrical patterns, Generation
of acoustic and gravitational waves
4) Weather Research Applications - Heating of steering winds in mesocyclones and hurricanes,
Modification of electrical patterns in mesocyclones, Generation of acoustic and gravitational waves
(gravity waves can produce severe weather, and transfer energy which results in unstable cloud
layers and weather behavior)
5) Applications discussed in the patents included destroying missiles, communications control and
disruption, to modify weather, and to lift a portion of the upper atmosphere further out into space,
where hopefully it would be able to deflect missile trajectories

Continuation of my above annotation showing the patents relating to HAARP. The general public are unaware of HAARP and many other program/projects as they have previously been hidden behind Patent applications Under the Invention Secrecy Act of 1951 Patent Security.

Open-source intelligence (OSINT) the practice of collecting information from published or otherwise publicly available sources. Below is more information to support the Patents previously listed showing more peer review and published information on the subject of HAARP.

1. 29 Dec 1997; US Airforce Research Paper - Weather as a Force Multiplier: Owning the Weather in 2025.
https://apps.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u...
Abstract : “In 2025, US aerospace forces can 'own the weather' by capitalizing on emerging technologies and focusing development of those technologies to war fighting applications. Such a capability offers the war fighter tools to shape the battlespace in ways never before possible. It provides opportunities to impact operations across the full spectrum of conflict and is pertinent to all possible futures. The purpose of this paper is to outline a strategy for the use of a future weather modification system to achieve military objectives rather than to provide a detailed technical road map. A high risk, high reward endeavor, weather modification offers a dilemma not unlike the splitting of the atom While some segments of society will always be reluctant to examine controversial issues such as weather modification, the tremendous military capabilities that could result from this field are ignored at our own peril. From enhancing friendly operations or disrupting those of the enemy via small scale tailoring of natural weather patterns to complete dominance of global communications and counterspace control, weather modification offers the war fighter a wide range of possible options to defeat or coerce an adversary. Some of the potential capabilities a weather modification system could provide to a war fighting commander in chief (CINC) are listed in table 1. Technology advancements in five major areas are necessary for an integrated weather modification capability: (1) advanced nonlinear modeling techniques, (2) computational capability, (3) information gathering and transmission, (4) a global sensor array, and (5) weather intervention techniques. Some intervention tools exist today and others may be developed and refined in the future.”

Abstract
The High-frequency Active Auroral Research Project, also called HAARP is a disturbing program being conducted by the U.S. Military and the University of Alaska, Fairbanks. Many of the concepts employed for the functions of HAARP come from the writings of Nikola Tesla. Some of the intended uses of HAARP come directly from hell. Tesla's intention was to advance science and technology to free man to pursue more intellectual endeavours. One of the intended uses may be the control of the minds of the public. Basically, HAARP is a device which beams super-powerful radio waves to the ionosphere, heating those areas, thereby lifting them. The electromagnetic waves bounce back to the earth and penetrate everything, even a person. Some of the planned uses of this technology: 1. A military tool to replace the electromagnetic pulse effect of thermonuclear devices; 2. To replace the extremely low frequency (ELF) communications network system; 3. To replace the over-the-horizon radar system; 4. To provide a wide area of earth penetrating tomography;

2024 Polar Aeronomy & Radio Science (PARS) Summer School Announced.

The 2024 Polar Aeronomy and Radio Science (PARS) summer school will be held in person at the University of Alaska Fairbanks and the High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) between August 6-15, 2024. The summer school provides faculty, graduate, and advanced undergraduate students with exposure to the National Science Foundation (NSF) Subauroral Geophysical Observatory (SAGO) for Space Physics and Radio Science and the HAARP research site in Gakona, Alaska.

The summer school’s goal is to provide student and advisor mentor pairs an opportunity to study the upper atmosphere and ionosphere at polar latitudes, with practical experience built into the learning process. The first week will be spent in the Fairbanks area with lectures and tours of space physics research sites, then relocating to HAARP to run active experiments and brief initial results. Students will be trained in the theory and concepts of ionospheric heating, with an introduction to Ionospheric Research Instrument (IRI) experiment design, diagnostics, and analysis. All students will have the opportunity to dialogue one-on-one with experienced scientists from multiple U.S. academic institutions. This year’s school will focus on Illuminating Space using Ground HF and VLF Receivers, Oblique Ionosonde Transmitters, HF Receivers on Satellites, Digital Ionosonde, Satellite Beacons, etc. sponsored and operated by NASA, NSF, CSA, etc.
