Cao, Long; Duan, Lei; Bala, Govindasamy; Caldeira, Ken (2016): Simulated long-term climate response to idealized solar geoengineering. In Geophys. Res. Lett., pp. n/a-n/a. DOI 10.1002/2016GL068079.

„Here we use the HadCM3L model to conduct a 1000-year sunshade geoengineering simulation in which solar irradiance is uniformly reduced by 4% to approximately offset global mean warming from an abrupt quadrupling of atmospheric CO₂. During the 1000-year period, modeled global climate, including temperature, hydrological cycle, and ocean circulation of the high-CO₂ simulation departs substantially from that of the control preindustrial simulation, whereas the climate of the geoengineering simulation remains much closer to that of the preindustrial state with little drift.“
