Dear All, It is too early to speculate on whether cloud seeding over a small area of the ocean could reverse this trend. The summer monsoon is a very broad-scale circulation, and this would need some GCM simulations to check, but I would guess there are not nearly enough regions with low clo

Hello Ken et al, To elaborate slightly on Ken's points, we are examining (via modelling) two other "regional" geoengineering possibilities to which Marine Cloud Brightening might be applicable. Both involve the cooling of oceanic surface waters in critical regions. One is the protection of coral
