Poster's note : this is a teaser abstract, so if someone can append the paper, that would be great
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/2014EO270015/abstract Seeding cirrus clouds could drive global net cooling JoAnna Wendel : 8 JUL 2014 DOI: 10.1002/2014EO270015 Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union Volume 95, Issue 27, page 252,8 July 2014 Keywords: geoengineering;susceptibility;dust Cirrus clouds—thin, wispy streamers that form in the upper troposphere when ice crystals nucleate around small dust or metallic particles—have a net warming effect on climate. Previous studies have suggested that seeding cirrus clouds with an overload of dust particles reduces their formation and lifespan, thus leading to a net cooling effect on global climate. Recently, however, research has raised questions regarding how exactly cirrus clouds form, which has implications for seeding strategies. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "geoengineering" group.
