Hello All, To answer question posed by John, there are two poster papers on cloud brightening scheduled for EGU. One is concerned with the spray technology work conducted by Armand Neukermans and team. The other is a general review of our work, a la Royal Society oral presentation in November 2010. Alan Gadian will be representing us in Vienna, re both posters.
