We study the prospects of detecting signals of a resonant scattering ofhigh-energy cosmic neutrinos on electrons in the atmosphere. Such a process ispossible through an s-channel exchange of a isotriplet scalar particlepredicted by some particle physics theories. We estimate the event rates for areference detector setup with plausible assumptions on the interactionstrengths and energy resolutions. We find as the most promising process theresonance production of tau neutrinos whose signature would be a "quiet" (incontrast with a hadronic "bang") production of the tau lepton followed by amore noisy decay in downstream
