Jackson, L. S.; Crook, J. A.; Forster, P. M. (2016): An intensified hydrological cycle in the simulation of geoengineering by cirrus cloud thinning using ice crystal fall speed changes. In J. Geophys. Res. Atmos. DOI 10.1002/2015JD024304.
„Proposals to geoengineer Earth’s climate by cirrus cloud thinning (CCT) potentially offer advantages over solar radiation management schemes: amplified cooling of the Arctic and smaller perturbations to global mean precipitation in particular. Using an idealized climate model implementation of CCT in which ice particle fall speeds were increased 2×, 4×, and 8× we examine the relationships between effective radiative forcing (ERF) at the top of atmosphere (TOA), near surface temperature and the response of the hydrological cycle.“
