MCB with drones - Claudel
Christian Claudel comes on to explore the issues around using drones to distribute MCB particles. These are made by anti-solvent precipitation (much like diluting Ricard spirit). Despite @geoengineering1 being AN ACTUAL AUTHOR on the paper he still finds plenty of opportunities for nitpicking. Paper: Marine-cloud brightening: an airborne concept Christian Claudel, Andrew John Lockley, Fabian Hoffmann and Younan Xia DOI 10.1088/2515-7620/ad2f71
