Abstract

Marine cloud brightening with a sub-micron spray of filtered sea water can exploit the Twomey effect to enhance planetary cooling. Several previous climate model results show that it can also affect precipitation in both directions in different places. Modulating the climate model settings for the concentration of cloud condensation nuclei with separate coded sequences in a number of spray regions round the world and correlating each sequence with the resulting weather patterns in observing stations round the world can give an everywhereto- everywhere transfer function of spray from each region to each observing station. The short life of spray allows the best choices of spray regions and seasons. Spray patterns can be modified tactically to suit real-time weather observations.
