Ultimately, the best way to control tropical storms may be using heaters in ships, or heating beams from planes that would heat the ocean on a path ahead or to one side of the cyclone since they are heat powered. They just have one eye so they see just via myopic vision just the ocean ahead, so to control the path of heat flow could be a way also to save many lives and property damage (when you go to a concert, the lights in the air improve the sound of the shouts, we hope.). A hurricane generates about an H bombs worth of rain per second, so a heat path may be of more control than the plan about combining ions above because for the heat path the general spin of the storm cancels out on both sides, so it cancels overall. Thus like power steering of your automobile, it may take a smaller force to move it. Cooling paths may be of use, or cooling and heating paths side by side.
Another possible way to make a heat path is by towing icebergs from the N or S and propelling them into one side of the storm, by the instability caused by the iceberg on one side and the rotation, the overall motion of the storm would be headed towards where the iceberg was aimed into the storm. The ice would break up by the action of the waves and would cool the storm, also reducing it's intensity. If an icebergs speed overall were 20 knots, it would take about a week to reach the storm, usually before it would reach land. For hurricanes missed by slower machines if this is viable till more robust machines were built it would make a good source of fresh water, as in other plans to move the icebergs to the tropics like the sahara.
Hurricanes are powered by the inner implosion of heat of the ocean, like a giant bubble heat then rises up from the eye and out at the top via centrifugal force. The rising heat is why the storms generally move north. The inflow and and the upward air current powered by heat is below 10,000 feet so conceviably the implosion could move the iceburg in where it would stop heat flow up from the eye, by closing the flow of heat upward. If the storm breaks up most icebergs and this was of worth by weather experiments, to go to the eye, the iceberg may actually be covered with a sort of cover till it reaches the eye or after if it were of value. Because the iceberg is stable the cover could be kept on for more attempts at moving the iceberg into the storm to move it by reaction and for more predictable ways to reduce the heat, if this is the better plan. For how all the plans could be proven or disproven for worth by physics before real money was spent, click here.
A recent patent on a machine that takes a ship into the calm center of the storm and then uses a cooling jet of water from below is small compared to the size of a hurricane, if the jet or combinations of jets were 50 feet across this is about 1 100th of a mile x the average width of a storm of 400 miles, or just 1/40,000th of the width of the storm, and this is just the width not height. The water jet would lose lots of it's cool fast in just a few 100 or a 1000 feet of upward motion with the rising heat. An iceberg could be 100 miles in depth and width and may have much more influence, it's 1/4th or 1/3 the width of the storm if necessary, and it's much cooler than the warmer water of the ship, to build a ship with as much influence would cost much more.
When the iceberg would reach the center, because of all the implosion all around, it would stay stabilized, perhaps stopping the overall motion of the storm till it was completely calm.
This idea of moving the icebergs from the poles might even be of use if the plan of using magnetic bubbles to heat the earth if too hot or cool the world it if was too hot in an ice age or with more solar heat and so on, turns out to be nonviable, for overheating of the earth, at any rate. If an ice age comes with people unable to move across national borders like in ages before where they would just walk south it would cause untold misery and suffering. If another ice age came about, not inconcievabl the icebergs could be moved from the poles and melted at the tropics and used for a major source of fresh water. This might be enough to reduce the albedo of the ice and make change enough to revive the earth from this woeful bane (much slower than broadband. I was thinking of low speed web with my ISP, my broadband is so broad the cheap site wouldn't load!).
For weather control on land, use of ionizing beams may be of worth to squeeze more rain out of clouds in a drought, reduce rain in a deluge, or even to prime the pump so much all the rain in a storm would fall where it wouldn't without use of particle or laser beams, especially when combined with methods of causing rain like dropping chemicals which cause rain on the storm from above. Clouds have opposite charges high and low. If more power is applied or power is reduced of the charges the actual probability of rain would be made more or reduced. While you may say that while rain is often with electrical activity in a storm, and that heat and electrical activity are not the same, they're close enough that this may be worth trying, because electricity carries heat. A storm has a lot of power, and power is heat. While this would be just about converting the beam power to heat and rain power, which is easily calculated, it wouldn't be cheap so could only be used over small areas like cities. If it also primes the pump it could be used to pay for itself with hydroelectric power perhaps, or relief from drought. (How dry is Miami beach, the water by the beach is always moist!) This may turn out to be a more viable way to achieve lots of rain than the machines they now have that extract water from the air, because if it's often not raining even if the humidity is 300% where I live! There's a lot more rain power in storms than air has.

Sounds like a commercial for undertakers! You get in the subway, and it's a mausaleum! ATHENS, Greece - Greek workers discovered around 1,000 graves, some filled with ancient treasures, while excavating for a subway system in the historic city of Thessaloniki, the state archaeological authority said Monday.
