Cloud Aerosol Research Instrument on the flight deck of the USS Hornet Museum on Wednesday, April 24, 2024, in Alameda, Calif The city of Alameda has indefinitely shut down the Marine Cloud Brightening Program — a study based out of the University of Washington and set up on the deck of the U.S.S. Hornet to utilize the San Francisco Bay’s ideal cloudy conditions — citing concerns over health and safety.
The program stopped its experiments prior to Alameda’s public announcement, according to a statement released by Dr. Rob Wood, principal investigator and Dr. Sarah Doherty, program director. The scientists added that the city was informed of the study’s corresponding educational exhibit in advance but asked for a closer review of the study after news articles released details in April.
Before beginning tests on the Hornet, the program went through an expert assessment of requirements and “found that the study does not exceed established regulatory or permitting thresholds,” Wood and Doherty wrote. The plumes of salt water “operate well below established thresholds for environmental or human health impact for emissions.”
