Re: [geo] Sensitivity of the surface climate to the height of the stratospheric sulfate layer

This is very important for engineering, as it favours high-altitude technologies (rockets, guns) vs air-breathing aircraft. What is the optimal injection altitude, in your opinion? At some point, the aerosol or precursor would be at risk of mixing into the mesosphere. Andrew On Fri, 24 May

[geo] Sensitivity of the surface climate to the height of the stratospheric sulfate layer

Dear All, This work is now published in Earth System Dynamics as a discussion paper. When we started this work, we had hard time understanding the sensitivity to the height of the sulfate aerosol layer. In the paper, we explain the sensitivity in terms of the effective radiative forcing.
