Re: [geo] Re: Hurricane moderation

A quick search on the absorption of infrared by seawater, see pages 81 and 106 and figs 21 & 22 in the book "The Ocean, their Physics, Chemistry and General Biology" https://publishing.cdlib.org/ucpressebooks/view?docId=kt167nb66r=d3_2_ch04=ch04=1=eschol=fig021#X indicates that 99.5% of IR

[geo] Methods of comparing geoengineering proposals

As we evaluate geoengineering proposals, we’re faced with a choice of measures of value. Society’s value tranacts for currency, and can be measured in money. Life’s value moves as energy, and can be measured in the joules of sunlight used to create life’s goods and services. Comparative economic

Re: [geo] Re: Hurricane moderation

Andrew, algae and forams come in many colors and with many different reflectance spectra-- is what you wrote true of common cocoliths like E. Hux ? A citation would be helpful. On Sunday, September 16, 2018 at 6:50:07 AM UTC-4, Andrew Lockley wrote: > > Algae doesn't lighten the sea. It

Re: [geo] Re: Hurricane moderation

Algae doesn't lighten the sea. It darkens it in the IR, which is dominant. Nadine Mengis and I looked into this; we presented at CEC-14, but didn't publish. Andrew Lockley On Sun, 16 Sep 2018, 07:59 Franz Dietrich Oeste, < oe...@gm-ingenieurbuero.com> wrote: > Hi all, > > The basis of the MCB

Re: [geo] Re: Hurricane moderation

Hi all, The basis of the MCB method of Salter et al. is sea water. Sea water is a salty water with a slightly alkaline pH value above 7. The ISA method generated FeCl3 aerosol (ISA) has an acidic pH around 2. This are not the only differences of the methods: The ocean surface needs an
