A technique is proposed for controlled enhancement of droplet concentrations in low‐level maritime clouds, with corresponding increase in their albedo and longevity, thereby producing a cooling effect. It involves dissemination at the ocean surface of small seawater droplets which act as cloud condensation nuclei (CCN). It has low ecological impact. Copyright © 2002 Royal Meteorological Society.
