MCB ships will indeed produce a short-lived bank of cold, wet fog. The
key words are 'short-lived'. Heat will absorbed from the sea below the
fog bank so the drops will evaporate and the salt residues moved by
turbulence. We want to give a low dose to a large area so a delay of a
day is probably desirable.

As my previous (slightly ranty) list was well received, here's a list
in response to this request.
What's the carrying capacity of CDR reservoirs?
What's the albedo impact of biochar?
Does condensation onto existing particles set a practical upper limit
on max forcing from SO2 injection?
Does direct injection of SO3 plume actually result in the particle
size distribution expected?
Do MCB ships just cause a short lived bank of cold wet fog, as some
models suggest?
What's the effect of large scale afforestation on : VOCs, albedo,
water, clouds
Why has nobody tested brightwater?
What effect on forcing does the switch to low sulphur marine bunker
fuels have?
Does pollution control in Asian industry and cooking stoves result in
large forcing changes?
What effect does SRM-induced thermal change in the boundary layer have
on water and methane transport into the Stratosphere, and subsequent
wetting?
Is moral hazard real, or is negative moral hazard more likely?
I might add to this as I think of more stuff.

Folks,
I am supposed to give a keynote talk at CEC14 in two weeks. For this
talk, I would like to try to develop a list of research problems in
solar geoengineering and a list of suspect memes. For this email
thread, I would like to ask
1a. What is an important tractable research problems in solar
geoengineering?
1b. Why is this problem important?
1c. What can be done to address this problem?
Thoughtful responses would be most appreciated. If you want to start
discussion about a research topic, please do so in a separate thread
so that this thread can be easily used to develop a list.
Thanks,
Ken
