WATCH: Using a technique called ‘cloud brightening,’ Australian scientists are spraying droplets of ocean water into the sky to protect the corals of the Great Barrier Reef
Researchers working on the so-called Cloud Brightening project said they use a turbine to spray microscopic sea particles to thicken existing clouds and reduce sunlight on the world's largest coral reef ecosystem located off Australia's northeast coast.
"If we do it over an extended period of time for a few weeks to a couple of months when the corals are experiencing a marine heatwave we can actually start to lower the water temperature over the Reef," said Harrison.
But the benefits of cloud brightening would lessen over time unless other measures slowed the march of climate change.
