More information on marine cloud brightening (MCB) for anyone that is interested, and I'm interested.

To perform these studies, the CARI system is being used to generate a plume of sea salt aerosols that flow down wind across a series of instrument risers containing sophisticated and sensitive instruments for measuring aerosols over a wide range of sizes and concentrations (see image below).  On these and at other stations, meteorology measurements are also taken. Plume generation occurs in brief intervals (generally 5-30 min) during periods of favorable meteorological conditions. Background aerosols are captured in other periods. These measurements will be taken periodically over time to capture findings in different seasons and meteorological conditions.

A Scientific Review Board of senior scientists reviewed the study design with reference to its scientific value, the suitability and feasibility of planned observations, modeling and analyses, identification of any measurable physical risks from aerosol output, and any additional concerns. They found the study design to be valuable, well-structured, feasible and without identifiable physical risks.  A report describing their findings is available here.

The aerosols will be using sea salt which is a natural substance albeit if they are injecting more sea salt into the environment that may be an issue or are they using existing sea salt from the ocean, whereby with this process it will simply be put back into the same environment (?)

Again, as I have read before, senior scientists found the study to have no identifiable physical risks.
