„[…] the stratospheric heating produced by these aerosols modifies the global circulation and strengthens the stratospheric polar vortex that acts as a barrier to the transport of air towards the poles. We show how this heating results in a nonlinear feedback where increasing injection rates lead to a stronger high latitudinal transport barrier. This implies a potential limitation in the high-latitude aerosol burden and subsequent high-latitude cooling.“
