Погодно-климатический аспект стратегии устойчивого развития экосистем горных территорий

Abstract

Introduction. The results of an analysis of information about threats to the development of civilization from the consequences of global warming and the effectiveness of projects presented to society to prevent it are presented. Research methods and materials. The method of inductive-deductive content analysis of scientific publications on the problems of global warming and the effectiveness of known methods for adjusting the heat balance of the planet was used. Research results. The high sensitivity of the thermal balance of the earth’s shell to cloud albedo and the complex dependence of cloud albedo on combinations of different types of clouds and on the frequency of cyclone formation have been established. Discussion of research results. Projects presented by various initiative groups to prevent global warming are assessed as unpromising. Conclusions on the article. An alternative method for adjusting cloud albedo is presented based on the use of thermoacoustic instability of atmospheric moisture. The method uses not a material substrate, but a phase of acoustic vibrations to influence the atmosphere. As a result, the use of the method is not accompanied by an increase in the entropy of the terrestrial ecosystem. Suggestions for practical applications and directions for future research. The application of the acoustic method is carried out in the form of remote initiation in the atmosphere of direct and reverse thermoacoustic effects using narrowly directed acoustic radiation from a ground-based installation and is characterized by high scalability, constant readiness for use and the absence of supporting infrastructure.
