Hi, I am new to this group, as well as to this field, but quite
interested in tornadoes/hurricanes.
I am missing something obvious in the following argument, I will be
grateful if someone could point out the flaw in this scheme:

The few important things related to creation of tornadoes or storms
a
(a) intense low pressure over a large area over the sea
(b) high amount of moisture content in the atmosphere due to
evaporation
(c) very high speed winds

(1) What if we were able to, in theory, inject a large amount of some
inert gas into the forming eye of a storm or a tornado and force less
absorption of mositure? Would it retard or prevent the proces of
storm-formation?

Since transporting such huge amounts of any gas is infeasible, maybe we
could research hard and invent a chemical _catalyst_ which performs the
following reaction:

************************************************** **********

Moisture +
Nitrogen/Oxygen (since they are abundant) +
[new catalyst + room temperature]

----------

(huge amounts of) [Some Inert Gas]

************************************************** **********


And armed with such a catalyst, spray (from airplanes) the catalyst
into forming storms to quieten/diffuse forming storms as done in
cloud-seeding

(2) What if cloud-seeding is done on a forming storm? What happens?

Clearly, extensive monitoring of the atmospheric conditions on the seas
will be required and possibly a lot of fruitless, proactive spraying of
gas/chemicals (the inert gas can be transported in liquid form in
several sorties etc.). But all that is if the idea has some real value.
Does it?

(3) finally, what happens if we say, set the formed storm on fire, by
shooting a powerful jet of burning fuel at the storm, does it help or
aggravate the situation?

Obviously, these ideas are rejected already, but I would like to know,
in very brief, why each one would fail.

Any answers are greatly appreciated.

Regards,
