Geo-engineering using dust grains in heliotropic elliptical orbits [PDF]
This paper examines the concept of a Saturn-like Earth ring comprised of dust grains to offset global warming. A new family of non-Keplerian periodic orbits, under the effects of solar radiation pressure and the Earth’s oblateness J2 perturbation, is ...

Quantifying the Effectiveness of Multiple SAI Strategies Across Different Dimensions
Abstract Stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) modeling experiments are often designed to keep global mean surface air temperature (GMSAT) close to a reference target, such as early‐century SSP2‐4.5. However, meeting this target does not necessarily restore regional climates or the seasonal and spatial patterns of key variables.

Thermosteric and dynamic sea level under solar geoengineering
The IPCC sixth assessment report forecasts sea level rise (SLR) of up to 2 m along coasts by 2100 relative to 1995–2014 following business as usual (SSP585) scenarios. Geoengineering may reduce this threat.

The implications of ionospheric disturbances for precise GNSS positioning in Greenland
Ionospheric irregularities impair Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals and, in turn, affect the performance of GNSS positioning. Such effects are especially evident at low and high latitudes, which are currently gaining the attention of ...

Land Radiative Management Increases Heat Stress in Some Humid Regions
Abstract Heat stress may exceed human physiological limits this century in hot and humid regions. Land radiative management (LRM), a geoengineering strategy that increases surface albedo, aims to reduce heat stress. However, previous work has shown that LRM suppresses rainfall in surrounding regions, drying soils and increasing temperatures.

The Indonesian Throughflow circulation under solar geoengineering
Abstract. The Indonesia Throughflow (ITF) is the only low-latitude channel between the Pacific and Indian oceans, and its variability has important effects on global climate and biogeochemical cycles. Climate models consistently predict a decline in ITF transport under global warming, but it has not yet been examined under solar geoengineering ...

Wind‐Driven Circulation Feedbacks Offset Tropical Geoengineered Sea Salt Emissions
Abstract Using a NOAA Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory coupled atmosphere–ocean (CM4) comprehensive model, we employ simulations of enhanced, geoengineered sea salt aerosol (SSA) emissions in the tropics to examine the circulation response to idealized marine cloud brightening. Increased tropical SSA emissions cool the deployment region and weaken

Global streamflow and flood response to stratospheric aerosol geoengineering [PDF]
Flood risk is projected to increase under future warming climates due to an enhanced hydrological cycle. Solar geoengineering is known to reduce precipitation and slow down the hydrological cycle and may therefore be expected to offset increased flood

Research Priorities for Robust Climate Assessments in the United States
Abstract Scientific assessments play a critical role in synthesizing evidence to support evidence‐based decision‐making in many sectors and topics. For climate change, large‐scale assessments like the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the United States (U.S.) National Climate Assessment (NCA) reports help many different users—from ...
