This paper is about using energy balance measurements to detect the
effects of geoengineering. But other sensors can measure stratospheric
aerosol clouds or stripes in marine clouds, so indeed we could detect
the implementation at a much smaller level than we could given the error
associated with measuring the radiation budget, including imperfect
sampling and natural weather and climate variability.

Money quote:
The perspective article shows, for example, that a three-month
experiment in the equatorial zone would need to cause an increase
in sunlight reflection that is three times as large as what
occurred when Mount Pinatubo erupted in 1991 to exceed the
background variability and be detected.
I remember hearing David Keith express high confidence that we would
be able to detect SRM, this seems to take a different view. Thoughts?
