The 1965 hurricane field program centered on researching Hurricane Betsy. Project STORMFURY made plans to seed Betsy to examine hurricane modification methods, but Betsy turned before entering the operational area, so instead NHRL carried out a 'dry run', in which no silver iodide was released.
The 1965 hurricane research endeavor centered on examining Hurricane Betsy. Project STORMFURY had formulated strategies to introduce substances into Betsy to explore methods for altering hurricanes, but Betsy changed direction before entering the operational zone, so instead NHRL conducted a simulation without releasing silver iodide.
