Nature – Zhang et al. (2023): Asymmetric response of South Asian summer monsoon rainfall in a carbon dioxide removal scenario

Suquin Zhang, Xio Qu, Gang Huang, Peng Hu IN: npj Clim Atmos Sci 6, 10 (2023). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41612-023-00338-x

The reversibility of South Asian summer monsoon (SASM) precipitation under the CO₂ removal scenario is critical for climate mitigation and adaptation. In the idealized CO₂ ramp-up (from 284.7 to 1138.8 ppm) and symmetric ramp-down experiments, SASM precipitation is largely reversible while exhibiting strong asymmetry: it may overshoot the unperturbed level when CO₂ recovers.
