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]
Abstract Solar Radiation Management (SRM) geoengineering is a proposed response to anthropogenic global warming (AGW). Stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) is one proposed method, reliant on lofting material into the stratosphere.

Effects of intermittent aerosol forcing on the stratocumulus-to-cumulus transition [PDF]
We explore the role of intermittent aerosol forcing (e.g., injections associated with marine cloud brightening) in the stratocumulus-to-cumulus transition (SCT).

Differences in the quasi-biennial oscillation response to stratospheric aerosol modification depending on injection strategy and species [PDF]
A known adverse side effect of stratospheric aerosol modification (SAM) is the alteration of the quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO), which is caused by the stratospheric heating associated with an artificial aerosol layer. Multiple studies found the QBO to

Uncertainties of SAI efficiency and impacts depending on the complexity of the aerosol microphysical model [PDF]
Significant differences exist between Earth System Models in simulating the efficiency of stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) experiments, particularly in terms of aerosol burden, radiative forcing, and impacts, such as tropical lower stratospheric ...

Record-breaking aerosol levels explained by smoke injection into the stratosphere
Smoke alarm Intense, widespread bushfires in Australia injected huge amounts of smoke into the stratosphere in 2020. Hirsch and Koren found that this smoke caused record-breaking levels of aerosols over the Southern Hemisphere, as much as that from a moderate volcanic eruption.

Unintended consequences of atmospheric injection of sulphate aerosols. [PDF]
Most climate scientists believe that climate geoengineering is best considered as a potential complement to the mitigation of CO{sub 2} emissions, rather than as an alternative to it. Strong mitigation could achieve the equivalent of up to -4Wm{sup -2} radiative forcing on the century timescale, relative to a worst case scenario for rising CO{sub 2 ...
