Marine cloud brightening (MCB), also called marine cloud seeding or marine cloud engineering, is a method that may make stratocumulus clouds over the ocean brighter. Brighter clouds reflect more sunlight back into space, which could help reduce global warming. It is one of two methods that might significantly affect the climate, but it works in the lower part of the atmosphere, unlike stratospheric aerosol injection, which operates higher up.
