Marine cloud brightening – as effective without clouds [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2017
Marine cloud brightening through sea spray injection has been proposed as a climate engineering method for avoiding the most severe consequences of global warming.

Marine cloud brightening of cumulus clouds: from the sprayer to the cloud [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics
Marine cloud brightening (MCB) is a suggested solar radiation management approach to mitigate global warming by increasing the reflectance of clouds through the emission of additional aerosols.

Marine cloud brightening: regional applications. [PDF]

Philos Trans A Math Phys Eng Sci, 2014
The general principle behind the marine cloud brightening (MCB) climate engineering technique is that seeding marine stratocumulus clouds with substantial concentrations of roughly monodisperse sub-micrometre-sized seawater particles might significantly enhance cloud albedo and longevity, thereby producing a cooling effect. This paper is concerned with

Natural marine cloud brightening in the Southern Ocean [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2023
The number of cloud droplets per unit volume (Nd) is a fundamentally important property of marine boundary layer (MBL) liquid clouds that, at constant liquid water path, exerts considerable controls on albedo.

Physical science research needed to evaluate the viability and risks of marine cloud brightening. [PDF]

Sci Adv
Marine cloud brightening (MCB) is the deliberate injection of aerosol particles into shallow marine clouds to increase their reflection of solar radiation and reduce the amount of energy absorbed by the climate system. From the physical science perspective, the consensus of a broad international group of scientists is that the viability of MCB will ...

First Simulations of Feedback Algorithm‐Regulated Marine Cloud Brightening

Geophysical Research Letters
Feedback control algorithms are important tools in climate intervention simulation design because they facilitate “top‐down” design, in which climate goals (often temperatures) are prescribed and a strategy chosen to meet the target.

Effect of regional marine cloud brightening on land climate

Environmental Research Letters
Marine cloud brightening (MCB) is one of the proposed climate intervention methods aiming to reduce anthropogenic warming. In this study, we use the CESM Earth system model to examine the land climate consequences of regional MCB. MCB is implemented from

A protocol for model intercomparison of impacts of marine cloud brightening climate intervention [PDF]

Geoscientific Model Development
A modeling protocol (defined by a series of climate model simulations with specified model output) is introduced. Studies using these simulations are designed to improve the understanding of climate impacts using a strategy for climate intervention (CI)
