A method for modifying the intensity and/or the path of a tropical cyclone is described. In some examples, the method can include employing nuclear submarines to intercept and redirect strong currents beneath a tropical cyclone's eyewall back up to a surface of the water body under the tropical cyclone eyewall. The method can also include imposing submarine-induced short period waves in a leading sector of an outer eyewall of the tropical cyclone, thereby causing a shift in the wind stream and accompanied with a change in the track of the tropical cyclone as well as a reduction in the tropical cyclone's intensity. In another example, the method can include imposing the wind resistance evenly across one or more radial segments of the eyewall of the storm or bilaterally at both leading sectors of the storm for reducing the storm's intensity, but without influencing the storm's path.
