Ocean Evaporators or Cloud Birthing.
Proposal to increase the water evaporation rate at selected ocean locations.
Place strong black sheeting verically, approximately 2 metres beneath the ocean surface, thus avoiding wave engagement. The sheeting is retrivable attached to the seabed. It is envisaged that 0.5 kilometre by 100 kilometres surfaces be created to harness a larger proportion of the suns energy for immediate surface water evaporation.
The sheeting's effect will be to capture the sun's energy in the upper
most portion of the ocean. Normally sunlight falling on the ocean is converted to
thermal energy which is spread out across the upper 300 metres. The sheeting captures
this energy in the top layer of water, warming it. The water in the lower layers is
receives no new energy in comparison to normal unsheeted ocean conditions.
The ocean thermocline is adjusted to be more like that of a coast thermocline. And Earths Albebo can be increased!
