Xia, Lili; et al. (2017): Impacts of Stratospheric Sulfate Geoengineering on Tropospheric Ozone

Xia, Lili; Nowack, Peer J.; Tilmes, Simone; Robock, Alan (2017): Impacts of Stratospheric Sulfate Geoengineering on Tropospheric Ozone. In: Atmos. Chem. Phys. Discuss., S. 1–38. DOI: 10.5194/acp-2017-434

Using a version of the Community Earth System Model from the National Center for Atmospheric Research that includes comprehensive tropospheric and stratospheric chemistry, we model both stratospheric sulfur injection and solar irradiance reduction schemes, with the aim of achieving equal levels of surface cooling relative to the Representative Concentration Pathway 6.0 scenario. This allows us to compare the impacts of sulfate aerosol and solar dimming on atmospheric ozone concentrations.
