Dear All, I would like to ask for some useful references about sulfate aerosol geoengineering. Assuming some uniform aerosol coverage around the globe, at some height, with a certain vertical layer thickness, i would imagine that at higher latitudes the radiative forcing exerted by the aerosols is larger due to the longer distance of travel of sun rays through the aerosol "cloud". As a consequence, the latitude-dependence of the downward-directed radiative forcing should have an even larger gradient than solar irradiance. Therefore, I’m wondering how big mistake it is to model such a geoengineering scenario by dimming the sun.
Any feedback or reference would be much appreciated. Thank you, Tamas -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "geoengineering" group.
