Harnessing stratospheric diffusion barriers for enhanced climate geoengineering [PDF]
Stratospheric sulfate aerosol geoengineering is a proposed method to temporarily intervene in the climate system to increase the reflectance of shortwave radiation and reduce mean global temperature.

Rayleigh-scattering microscopy for tracking and sizing nanoparticles in focused aerosol beams
Ultra-bright femtosecond X-ray pulses generated by X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) can be used to image high-resolution structures without the need for crystallization.

Climate response to off-equatorial stratospheric sulfur injections in three Earth system models – Part 1: Experimental protocols and surface changes [PDF]
There is now substantial literature on climate model studies of equatorial or tropical stratospheric SO2 injections that aim to counteract the surface warming produced by rising concentrations of greenhouse gases.

The sensitivity of smoke aerosol dispersion to smoke injection height and source-strength: a multi-model AeroCom study [PDF]
The near-source and downwind impacts of smoke aerosols depend on both emitted mass and injection height. This study examines aerosol dispersion sensitivity to these factors using four global models from the AeroCom Phase III Biomass Burning Emission and ...

An interactive stratospheric aerosol model intercomparison of solar geoengineering by stratospheric injection of SO2 or accumulation-mode sulfuric acid aerosols [PDF]
Studies of stratospheric solar geoengineering have tended to focus on modification of the sulfuric acid aerosol layer, and almost all climate model experiments that mechanistically increase the sulfuric acid aerosol burden assume injection of SO2.

Microphysics regimes due to haze–cloud interactions: cloud oscillation and cloud collapse [PDF]
It is known that aqueous haze particles can be activated into cloud droplets in a supersaturated environment. However, haze–cloud interactions have not been fully explored, partly because haze particles are not represented in most cloud-resolving models.

Sensitivity of the radiative forcing by stratospheric sulfur geoengineering to the amount and strategy of the SO2injection studied with the LMDZ-S3A model [PDF]
The enhancement of the stratospheric sulfate aerosol layer has been proposed as a method of geoengineering to abate global warming. Previous modelling studies found that stratospheric aerosol geoengineering (SAG) could effectively compensate for the ...

Interactive stratospheric aerosol models' response to different amounts and altitudes of SO2 injection during the 1991 Pinatubo eruption [PDF]
A previous model intercomparison of the Tambora aerosol cloud has highlighted substantial differences among simulated volcanic aerosol properties in the pre-industrial stratosphere and has led to questions about the applicability of global aerosol models

The impact of MISR-derived injection height initialization on wildfire and volcanic plume dispersion in the HYSPLIT model [PDF]
The dispersion of particles from wildfires, volcanic eruptions, dust storms, and other aerosol sources can affect many environmental factors downwind, including air quality.

An Update on Engineering Issues Concerning Stratospheric Aerosol Injection for Geoengineering [PDF]
Solar Radiation Management (SRM) geoengineering is a proposed response to anthropogenic global warming (AGW)1. Stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) is one proposed method, reliant on lofting particles into the stratosphere. Engineering reviews related to this technology approach have been sparse, with most major primary analyses now at least five ...
