The effects of timing and rate of marine cloud brightening aerosol injection on albedo changes during the diurnal cycle of marine stratocumulus clouds [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2013 The marine-cloud brightening geoengineering technique has been suggested as a possible means of counteracting the positive radiative forcing associated with anthropogenic atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub> increases.

Impacts of three types of solar geoengineering on the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2022 Climate models simulate lower rates of North Atlantic heat transport under greenhouse gas climates than at present due to a reduction in the strength of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC).

Ice nuclei in marine air: biogenic particles or dust? [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2013 Ice nuclei impact clouds, but their sources and distribution in the atmosphere are still not well known. Particularly little attention has been paid to IN sources in marine environments, although evidence from field studies suggests that IN ...

Assessing the potential efficacy of marine cloud brightening for cooling Earth using a simple heuristic model [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2021 A simple heuristic model is described to assess the potential for increasing solar reflection by augmenting the aerosol population below marine low clouds, which nominally leads to increased cloud droplet concentration and albedo. The model estimates the

The climate effects of increasing ocean albedo: an idealized representation of solar geoengineering [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2018 Geoengineering, or climate intervention, describes methods of deliberately altering the climate system to offset anthropogenic climate change. As an idealized representation of near-surface solar geoengineering over the ocean, such as marine cloud ...

Crop failure rates in a geoengineered climate: impact of climate change and marine cloud brightening
Environmental Research Letters, 2015 The impact of geoengineering on crops has to date been studied by examining mean yields. We present the first work focusing on the rate of crop failures under a geoengineered climate.

The Effects of Marine Cloud Brightening on Seasonal Polar Temperatures and the Meridional Heat Flux [PDF]
ISRN Geophysics, 2012 Marine cloud brightening (MCB) is one of several proposed solar radiation management (SRM) geoengineering schemes designed to ameliorate some of the undesirable effects of climate change, for example polar ice loss and associated increased sea levels.
