Is it possible we'll see noticable global cooling from this or is it too small? Legal/approved or not, it seems like this will be a great data point and it will be good to have as much information as possible on strategies like this is global warming ever becomes a pressing issue.

For any noticable effects on temperature it is way too small. Similar experiments have been conducted by Scientists near Antarctica in the past (including international protest after it became known), resulting in big algae patches visible on satellite images (see the slides in [1] for examples).
