过去几十年来，珊瑚白化事件的增加主要是由于海面温度上升造成的，预计在本世纪，持续变暖将导致更大的增加。我们使用一个全球气候模式来研究海洋云增亮（MCB）的潜力，以冷却海洋表面沃茨在三个珊瑚礁省。我们的模拟表明，在二氧化碳加倍的条件下，珊瑚漂白条件从目前的值在三个珊瑚礁地区（加勒比海，法属波利尼西亚，大堡礁）的大幅增加被消除时，MCB被应用，这减少了在这些网站的SST大致到原来的值。
Increases in coral bleaching events over the last few decades have been largely caused by rising sea surface temperatures (SST), and continued warming is expected to cause even greater increases through this century. We use a Global Climate Model to examine the potential of marine cloud brightening (MCB) to cool oceanic surface waters in three coral reef provinces. Our simulations indicate that under doubled CO2 conditions, the substantial increases in coral bleaching conditions from current values in three reef regions (Caribbean, French Polynesia, and the Great Barrier Reef) were eliminated when MCB was applied, which reduced the SSTs at these sites roughly to their original values.
