Richter, Jadwiga H.; et al. (2018): Stratospheric response in the first geoengineering simulation meeting multiple surface climate objectives

Richter, Jadwiga H.; Tilmes, Simone; Glanville, Anne A.; Kravitz, Ben; MacMartin, Douglas G.; Mills, Michael J. et al. (2018): Stratospheric response in the first geoengineering simulation meeting multiple surface climate objectives. In J. Geophys. Res. Atmos. DOI: 10.1029/2018JD028285.

„We describe here changes in stratospheric dynamics and chemistry in a first century‐long sulfate aerosol geoengineering simulation in which the mean surface temperature and the inter‐hemispheric and equator‐to‐pole surface temperature gradients were kept near their 2020 levels despite the RCP8.5 emission scenario. Simulations were carried out with the Community Earth System Model, version 1 with the Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model as its atmospheric component (CESM1 (WACCM)) coupled to a feedback algorithm controlling the magnitude of sulfur dioxide (SO₂) injections at four injection latitudes.“
