Geophysical Research Letters, 2019 Radiative forcing from volcanic aerosol impacts surface temperatures; however, the background climate state also affects the response. A key question thus concerns whether constraining forcing estimates is more important than constraining initial ...

The effect of uncertainties in natural forcing records on simulated temperature during the last millennium [PDF]
Climate of the Past, 2023 Here we investigate how uncertainties in the solar and volcanic forcing records of the past millennium affect the large-scale temperature response using a two-box impulse response model.

The impact of volcanic aerosol on the Northern Hemisphere stratospheric polar vortex: mechanisms and sensitivity to forcing structure [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2014 Observations and simple theoretical arguments suggest that the Northern Hemisphere (NH) stratospheric polar vortex is stronger in winters following major volcanic eruptions.

The unidentified eruption of 1809: a climatic cold case [PDF]
Climate of the Past, 2021 The “1809 eruption” is one of the most recent unidentified volcanic eruptions with a global climate impact. Even though the eruption ranks as the third largest since 1500 with a sulfur emission strength estimated to be 2 times that of the 1991 eruption ...

Hemispherically asymmetric volcanic forcing of tropical hydroclimate during the last millennium [PDF]
Earth System Dynamics, 2016 Volcanic aerosols exert the most important natural radiative forcing of the last millennium. State-of-the-art paleoclimate simulations of this interval are typically forced with diverse spatial patterns of volcanic forcing, leading to different responses

The Model Intercomparison Project on the climatic response to Volcanic forcing (VolMIP): experimental design and forcing input data for CMIP6 [PDF]
Geoscientific Model Development, 2016 The enhancement of the stratospheric aerosol layer by volcanic eruptions induces a complex set of responses causing global and regional climate effects on a broad range of timescales. Uncertainties exist regarding the climatic response to strong volcanic

Assessing the impact of large volcanic eruptions of the last millennium (850–1850 CE) on Australian rainfall regimes [PDF]
Climate of the Past, 2018 Explosive volcanism is an important natural climate forcing, impacting global surface temperatures and regional precipitation. Although previous studies have investigated aspects of the impact of tropical volcanism on various ocean–atmosphere systems ...

On the additivity of climate responses to the volcanic and solar forcing in the early 19th century [PDF]
Earth System Dynamics, 2022 The early 19th century was the coldest period over the past 500 years, when strong tropical volcanic events and a solar minimum coincided. The 1809 unidentified eruption and the 1815 Tambora eruption happened consecutively during the Dalton minimum of ...

Importance of tropospheric volcanic aerosol for indirect radiative forcing of climate [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2012 Observations and models have shown that continuously degassing volcanoes have a potentially large effect on the natural background aerosol loading and the radiative state of the atmosphere.

Initial atmospheric conditions control transport of volcanic volatiles, forcing and impacts [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and PhysicsVolcanic eruptions impact the climate and environment. The volcanic forcing is determined by eruption source parameters, including the mass and composition of volcanic volatiles, eruption season, eruption latitude, and injection altitude.
