Abstract: The method of considerable decrease the CO2 concentration in atmosphere based on precipitation enchainment is considered. Nowadays approaches for cloud reorganization are very important, because the sum of CO2 and water vapor that collected in clouds makes 95% mass of greenhouse gases. Usage of helicopter for free flight inside natural clouds is considered in comparison with traditional airplanes. The method for anti-icing coating for helicopter and laboratory experiments with formulas for the cloud droplets adhesion/separation are presented. New technology for fast drying of air in medium near helicopter rotor is outlined.

Abstract: The detailed microphysical model is presented for the cases of injection the glaciogenic particles inside natural clouds; nowadays glaciogen aerosols are solid CO2 or liquid N2. The model includes calculation for quantity of ice crystals that are forming in the overcooled areas, and effect for water droplets grow in a far zone near glaciogen. The comparison with common AgI is presented and discussed.

Abstract: A method for removing atmospheric carbon dioxide (СО2) and water vapor is proposed. The method sprays clouds with alkaline compounds to significantly increase the solubility of СО2 in the cloud water, providing for much higher than normal levels of СО2 to be absorbed by rain droplets. The CO2 is transported to the ground for sequestration in surface and/or ground water, and available for carbon fixation by plants and organisms. Presented calculations estimate that 38 gigatonnes of atmospheric CO2 could be removed per year by applying the process over 0.08% to 2.4 % of the Earth’s surface. Laboratory experiments that grew multiple edible plant species irrigated with the modified rainwater indicated yield benefits. A concept for removing atmospheric methane (CH4) is also presented. Powerful lasers would ionize the CH4 to form CO2 that could then be removed by the alkaline-enhanced rainfall method.
