Hi At the summer school something came up in discussion which concerned me, but couldn't fully articulate my concerns at the time.
There's a number of (potential) processes in the atmosphere which are unusual or anomalous. I don't know much about the physics or chemistry of how these might interact with SRM, but I'm still concerned that maybe there are problems with this (like we discovered to our cost with CFCs and polar stratospheric clouds) I've made a preliminary list of some below Large meteorite airbusts (eg Tunguska) Northern lights Solar storms / coronal mass ejection impact Tropopause folding events The OH hole over the pacific Super-large wildfires (which apparently have plumes which affect the stratosphere) Nuclear detonations Industrial disasters (eg Bhopal) Space rocket exhaust I'm sure there are others - can anyone add to this? I really can't comment in any kind of depth about what any of the above might mean for SRM, but I hope someone else can.
