This is actually one of the FAQ's on the National Hurricane Center
Website. http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/tcfaq/C5c.html

(The "cool the water" option is also discussed too:

Hurricanes grow stronger over warm waters and correspondingly lose

According to the graphic on this page, the temperature only had to be
reduced to about 75§ F for this to occur.

So could we cover the expected hurricane path with chemicals that
produce a temperature reduction on mixing with water to reduce the
ocean temperature?

[snip crap]

Cylinder of water 70 miles in radius and 25 feet deep. Cool from 90 F
to 70 F,

(pi)(112.65 km x 10^5)^2(7.62 meters x10^2)(11.11 C) -- 3.38x10^18
calories
3.38x10^18 calories = 1.41x10^19 joules = 3,378 megatonnes equivalent

Ya gonna absorb that energy with dissolving ammonium nitrate, git?
Cylinder of vegetable oil 70 miles in radius and 1 cm thick,

(pi)(112.65 km x 10^5)^2(1) = 4x10^14 cm^3 = 10^11 gallons

Gonna pour oil on troubled waters, git?


Al again you are correct, but not very nice. Keep up the good work.


The key fact is you don't have to cool 25 feet. Just the upper
surface. Let's call it 1 cm. The 25 ft. estimate results in a number
25 ft * 30cm/ft = 750 too high. The temperature drop I'm assuming is
also only 5 degrees F, not 20 F, based on an actually observed case
where a hurricane dissipated after a temperature drop of only 5 F. So
his estimate is an additonal factor of 4 too high. Then the estimate
should be less by a factor of 3000 or .47 x10^16 joules, 4.7 x 10^12
kilojoules. Ammonium nitrate can remove 350 kJ of heat per kilogram:

Making ice without machinery
"Ammonium nitrate is a commonly available nitrogen fertilizer. It is
very soluble. 1 kg of
ammonium nitrate will dissolve in 1 litre of water. It will remove
about
28 kJ of heat from the surroundings per mole of ammonium nitrate, which

works out at 350 kJ per kg of ammonium nitrate..."
http://www.madsci.org/posts/archives...5573.Ch.r.html

So you would need (4.7x10^12)/350 = 14.3 x 10^9 kg of ammonium
nitrate, 14 million metric tons. But notice he is also using a much
larger area than would be necessary, a 70 mile radius. I assumed only a
10 km across area. This results in only 2.8 x10^5 kg, 280 metric
tons. This is actually in the range that could be carried by the
largest cargo transport aircraft. The ammonium nitrate could be sprayed
from the air on the area that needed to be covered, actually following
the path of the hurricane.

So we await your answer. How the hell are you going to make a 1cm thick
layer of cooled surface water and keep it at the surface in hurricane-
whipped seas, idjit?

The seas and the winds within the eye are always calmer. That's a
well-known fact about hurricanes.
Hurricanes themselves despite their high winds travel rather slowly,
perhaps 10-30 km/hr.
If you had a supertanker dispersing the coolant you could have it
follow along within the eye or it could precede ahead of it within its
predicted track.
