Kwiatkowski, Lester; et al. (2015): Atmospheric consequences of disruption of the ocean thermocline

Kwiatkowski, Lester; Ricke, Katharine L.; Caldeira, Ken (2015): Atmospheric consequences of disruption of the ocean thermocline. In: Environ. Res. Lett. 10 (3), S. 034016. DOI: 10.1088/1748-9326/10/3/034016.

„To help bound potential climate consequences of these activities, we perform a set of simulations involving idealized disruption of the ocean thermocline by greatly increasing vertical mixing in the upper ocean. We use an Earth System Model (ESM) to evaluate the likely thermal and hydrological response of the atmosphere to this scenario.“

Discussion: Climate Engineering: Solution or Problem?

„Do leading climate engineering proposals offer a realistic form of response to climate change? What are the major scientific, political, and social challenges to climate engineering’s development? Do the potential benefits of climate engineering research outweigh the risk that it will be used as an excuse not to deal with carbon emissions today?“

Yu, Xiaoyong; et al. (2015): Impacts, effectiveness and regional inequalities of the GeoMIP G1 to G4 solar radiation management scenarios

Yu, Xiaoyong; Moore, John C.; Cui, Xuefeng; Rinke, Annette; Ji, Duoying; Kravitz, Ben; Yoon, Jin-Ho (2015): Impacts, effectiveness and regional inequalities of the GeoMIP G1 to G4 solar radiation management scenarios. In: Global and Planetary Change. DOI: 10.1016/j.gloplacha.2015.02.010

„We evaluate the effectiveness and the regional inequalities of solar radiation management (SRM) in compensating for simultaneous changes in temperature and precipitation caused by increased greenhouse gas concentrations. We analyze the results from Earth System Models under four Geoengineering Model Intercomparison Project (GeoMIP) experiments with a modified form of the Residual Climate Response approach.“
