Rethinking the susceptibility-based strategy for marine cloud brightening climate intervention: Experiment with CESM2 and its implications

Listed in National Center for Atmospheric Research

Previous modeling studies indicate that even though marine cloud brightening under a susceptibility-based strategy is effective in reducing the global average surface temperature, it triggers a La Ni & ntilde;a-like sea-surface temperature response with cooling mostly confined within lower latitudes.

Description

Here we explore a different cloud seeding strategy involving seeding of regions with low susceptibility, primarily over the ocean in midlatitudes during the winter.

Simulations with the Community Earth System Model, version 2 reveal that because the regional forcing is weaker and more widespread, cooling is more evenly distributed over the globe. This new strategy also does not result in the La Ni & ntilde;a-like state seen in the other strategies.
