- Weather control was the use of technology to control a planet's weather using a weather-control station. Planets such as Coruscant stopped rain and storms, so that it only rained once a month. On the planet Bonadan, weather control was used to create sweeper storms. On Mustafar, the lava flow was controlled by weather systems in order to prevent them from flooding, and to protect the citizens from explosions. The Ion Ring, Pasarian Memorial Atmospheric Reclamation Complex Project, and atmospheric dampeners were other examples of weather control technology.
- "Weather Control" is an upcoming episode of Gems Across the Cosmos: The Next Generation.
- Perhaps the first example of practical weather control is the lightning rod. In the 1950s, computer scientist John von Neumann, an early theorizer on weather control, surmised that if Earth were to enter another Ice Age, a preventative solution would be to dump dirt (or spray soot from cropdusting planes) on the surface of the planet's glaciers. He noted that this would significantly change their reflectivity (albedo), and thus increase the solar energy retained by the planet. Such a strategy would require repeated applications, as storms would cover some portion of the soot with new snow until their frequency and range abated. The theoretical efficacy of von Neumann's proposal remains to be examined. Wilhelm Reich performed cloudbusting experiments in the 1950s to 1960s, the results of wh

The theoretical efficacy of von Neumann's proposal remains to be examined. Wilhelm Reich performed cloudbusting experiments in the 1950s to 1960s, the results of which are controversial. Dr Walter Russell wrote of weather control in Atomic Suicide 1956. Jack Toyer in the 1970s built a rainmaker on Palmers Island near Grafton using a solar mirror, electromagnetic static charge, and infra red frequencies of light to induce weather in regional areas within Australia. His work was continued by his successor, Peter Stevens.
