The problem is that when you create a hole [in the ionosphere] , even if it is only 30 miles in diameter or 250 miles in diameter (which is the range the military have been talking about) at 250 miles high what happens is that the lower atmosphere rushes in to fill this empty space, and as a result wind patterns in the area underneath change.
