The impact of geoengineering aerosols on stratospheric temperature and ozone
Environmental Research Letters, 2009 Anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions are warming the global climate at an unprecedented rate. Significant emission reductions will be required soon to avoid a rapid temperature rise. As a potential interim measure to avoid extreme temperature increase, it has been suggested that Earth's albedo be increased by artificially enhancing stratospheric ...

Future changes in atmospheric rivers over East Asia under stratospheric aerosol intervention [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2023 Atmospheric rivers (ARs) are closely associated with historical extreme precipitation events over East Asia. The projected increase in such weather systems under global warming has been extensively discussed in previous studies, while the role of ...

Weakened tropical circulation and reduced precipitation in response to geoengineering
Environmental Research Letters, 2014 Geoengineering by injection of reflective aerosols into the stratosphere has been proposed as a way to counteract the warming effect of greenhouse gases by reducing the intensity of solar radiation reaching the surface.

Correction to “Stratospheric heating by potential geoengineering aerosols”
Geophysical Research Letters, 2012 [1] In the paper “Stratospheric heating by potential geoengineering aerosols” by Angus Ferraro, Eleanor Highwood and Andrew Charlton-Perez (Geophysical Research Letters, 38, L24706, doi:10.1029/2011GL049761, 2011), there is an error we would like to correct.

Radiative and climate effects of stratospheric sulfur geoengineering using seasonally varying injection areas [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2017 Stratospheric sulfur injections have often been suggested as a cost-effective geoengineering method to prevent or slow down global warming. In geoengineering studies, these injections are commonly targeted to the Equator, where the yearly mean ...

Glacier evolution in high-mountain Asia under stratospheric sulfate aerosol injection geoengineering [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2017 Geoengineering by stratospheric sulfate aerosol injection may help preserve mountain glaciers by reducing summer temperatures. We examine this hypothesis for the glaciers in high-mountain Asia using a glacier mass balance model driven by climate ...

Reduced Poleward Transport Due to Stratospheric Heating Under Stratospheric Aerosols Geoengineering
Geophysical Research Letters, 2020 Abstract By injecting SO 2 into the stratosphere at four latitudes (30°, 15°N/S), it might be possible not only to reduce global mean surface temperature but also to minimize changes in the equator‐to‐pole and inter‐hemispheric ...

Thermosteric and dynamic sea level under solar geoengineering
npj Climate and Atmospheric Science, 2023 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 Sectional Stratospheric Sulfate Aerosol module (S3A-v1) within the LMDZ general circulation model: description and evaluation against stratospheric aerosol observations [PDF]
Geoscientific Model Development, 2017 Stratospheric aerosols play an important role in the climate system by affecting the Earth's radiative budget as well as atmospheric chemistry, and the capabilities to simulate them interactively within global models are continuously improving.
