Stratospheric transport and tropospheric sink of solar geoengineering aerosol: a Lagrangian analysis

npj Climate and Atmospheric Science
Stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) aims to reflect solar radiation by increasing the stratospheric aerosol burden. To understand how the background circulation influences stratospheric transport of injected particles, we use a Lagrangian trajectory ...

Volcanic Forcing Amplifies Extreme Wet‐to‐Dry in Pre‐Flood South China Driven by Internal Variability

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract Dry‐wet whiplash events profoundly impact society and the environment, yet their attribution remain poorly understood. This study reveals that the unprecedented interannual wet‐to‐dry transition (return period: 979.2 years) in South China's 1962–1963 pre‐flood season is co‐driven by internal variability and volcanic forcing.

Investigating the Climatic Impacts of Stratospheric Aerosol Injection

, 2017
In this thesis, we assess various climatic impacts of stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI), a geoengineering proposal that aims to cool Earth by enhancing the sunlight-reflecting aerosol layer in the lower stratosphere.

Pandemic politics—lessons for solar geoengineering

Communications Earth & Environment, 2020
Responses to the COVID-19 emergency have exposed break-points at the interface of science, media, and policy. We summarize five lessons that should be heeded if climate change ever enters a state of emergency perceived to warrant stratospheric aerosol ...

Sulfur Exposure for Airplane Passengers From Stratospheric Aerosol Injection

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract Injection of sulfur dioxide to create a stratospheric sulfate aerosol cloud is the most studied method of climate intervention. It has been suggested that airplanes be used at high latitudes to create such a cloud at lower altitudes. Commercial airplanes routinely fly at altitudes of 11 km in the Arctic, and therefore passengers could be ...

Data from: Seasonally Modulated Stratospheric Aerosol Geoengineering Alters the Climate Outcomes

, 2020
By reflecting some incoming solar radiation, stratospheric aerosol intervention using SO2 would reduce global mean temperature. Previous research has shown that multiple injection latitudes can be used to maintain not only global mean temperature, but ...

Post‐Eruption Tropical Cyclone Genesis Potential Change Over the Western North Pacific Modulated by Initial Oceanic Conditions

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract How tropical cyclone (TC) frequency may change following volcanic eruptions remains debated, owing to limited contemporary eruption samples. Using last‐millennium multi‐member simulations with CESM, we show that post‐eruption TC genesis potential over the western North Pacific consistently decreases during the storm season following extremely ...

Highland Pathways Shape Global Dust Vertical Transport and Its Climate Effects

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract Highlands govern global dust vertical transport, yet their region‐specific pathways and climatic impacts remain unclear. We found that although dust emissions from highlands are minimal, the dust content in the middle and upper atmosphere over highlands is high, identifying highlands as key dust conduits.

Greenland Ice Sheet Response to Stratospheric Aerosol Injection Geoengineering

, 2019
The Greenland ice sheet is expected lose at least 90% of its current volume if ice sheet summer temperatures warm by around 1.8 °C above pre‐industrial. Geoengineering by stratospheric sulfate aerosol injection might slow Greenland ice sheet melting and ...
