  We study the prospects of detecting signals of a resonant scattering of
high-energy cosmic neutrinos on electrons in the atmosphere. Such a process is
possible through an s-channel exchange of a isotriplet scalar particle
predicted by some particle physics theories. We estimate the event rates for a
reference detector setup with plausible assumptions on the interaction
strengths and energy resolutions. We find as the most promising process the
resonance production of tau neutrinos whose signature would be a "quiet" (in
contrast with a hadronic "bang") production of the tau lepton followed by a
more noisy decay in downstream.
