can they be dissipated artificially?
No, but other approaches have been suggested over time, including cooling the water under a tropical cyclone by towing icebergs into the tropical oceans

where does a tropical cyclone or hurricane get its energy A tropical cyclone's primary energy source is heat from the evaporation of water from the surface of a warm ocean, previously heated by sunshine, the energetics of the system may be idealized as an atmospheric Carnot heat engine is there any difference between the eye and the center? UNANSWERABLE how do the storms interact? The passage of a tropical cyclone over the ocean causes the upper layers of the ocean to cool substantially, which can influence subsequent cyclone development

Tropical cyclone [SEP] Artificial dissipation
Other approaches have been suggested over time, including cooling the water under a tropical cyclone by towing icebergs into the tropical oceans. Other ideas range from covering the ocean in a substance that inhibits evaporation, dropping large quantities of ice into the eye at very early stages of development (so that the latent heat is absorbed by the ice, instead of being converted to kinetic energy that would feed the positive feedback loop), or blasting the cyclone apart with nuclear weapons. Project Cirrus even involved throwing dry ice on a cyclone. These approaches all suffer from one flaw above many others: tropical cyclones are simply too large and long-lived for any of the weakening techniques to be practical.
