Hi Robert
I remember learning about heat capacity in physics at school. In my brevity I was unclear. I’m fully aware that you can’t use brighter clouds to sufficiently cool water that is rapidly flowing from a warmer ocean into the Arctic. In my presentation
Hi Clive
I was chatting this week with Stephen Salter about Marine Cloud Brightening at
different latitudes. It is a misconception, which I also shared, that directly
cooling ocean currents flowing into the Arctic offers the main potential
intervention for refreezing. The main global
Thanks Stephen
I was wondering if anything other than cooling the flow of the oceans into the
Arctic could help to cool Greenland ice outside the short period when MCB would
work.
If droplet scavenging turns out to be effective, we may be able to do it over
Greenland from drones or

It is true and also rather obvious that cloud brightening only works in summer
and this is taken in the calculations about the number of spray vessels which I
have circulated. Please let me know if you would like me to send them again.
I agree that warm water in winter would be bad and so
Cooling the Oceans is a no-brainer, if it can be done.
There were a few recent publications talking about melting from “below”.
Here a recent WWF post including a Video explainer clearly targeted at the
wider public (rather than experts).
