Deployment Strategy Shapes the Polar Climate Response to Marine Cloud Brightening

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract Marine cloud brightening (MCB) is a proposed solar climate intervention strategy that increases marine cloud reflectivity to cool Earth's surface. While previous studies have largely examined its global temperature and precipitation effects, little is known about how MCB deployment strategies influence polar climate and sea ice.

Governing marine cloud brightening for ecosystem conservation under a warming climate

Earth System Governance
Marine Cloud Brightening (MCB) is an emerging technology designed to mitigate the impacts of climate change by increasing the reflectivity of low-lying marine clouds. As research into this technology advances, the question of how to govern its trials and

Impact of Seasonality on Climate Outcomes for Mid Latitude Marine Cloud Brightening

Geophysical Research Letters
Abstract Most previous studies on marine cloud brightening (MCB) have focused on deployment over the subtropical stratocumulus cloud decks which persistently result in non‐uniform cooling and disruption of the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO).

Reduced efficacy of marine cloud brightening geoengineering due to in-plume aerosol coagulation: parameterization and global implications [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2013
The intentional enhancement of cloud albedo via controlled sea-spray injection from ships (marine cloud brightening) has been proposed as a possible method to control anthropogenic global warming; however, there remains significant uncertainty in the ...

Albedo susceptibility of northeastern Pacific stratocumulus: the role of covarying meteorological conditions [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2022
Quantification of the radiative adjustment of marine low clouds to aerosol perturbations, regionally and globally, remains the largest source of uncertainty in assessing current and future climate.

Microphysical, macrophysical, and radiative responses of subtropical marine clouds to aerosol injections [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2023
Ship tracks in subtropical marine low clouds are simulated and investigated using large-eddy simulations. Five variants of a shallow subtropical stratocumulus-topped marine boundary layer (MBL) are chosen to span a range of background aerosol ...

Distinct regional meteorological influences on low-cloud albedo susceptibility over global marine stratocumulus regions [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2023
Marine stratocumuli cool the Earth effectively due to their high reflectance of incoming solar radiation and persistent occurrence. The susceptibility of cloud albedo to droplet number concentration perturbations depends strongly on large-scale ...

Cloud albedo changes in response to anthropogenic sulfate and non-sulfate aerosol forcings in CMIP5 models [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2017
The effects of different aerosol types on cloud albedo are analysed using the linear relation between total albedo and cloud fraction found on a monthly mean scale in regions of subtropical marine stratocumulus clouds and the influence of simulated ...
