Dear Olivier, Stephen and Douglas,
I highly appreciate your responses. Olivier’s point 1/, that the sulfate
aerosol geoengineering forcing depends on the preexisting radiation, made me
realise that the there should be a latitude-dependence of the green house
forcing too. I believe Stephen’s

Agreed that the pattern of response isn’t as inhomogeneous as the forcing is,
though it is still true that a uniform aerosol layer will overcool the tropics
and undercool the poles, and that choosing your injection locations so that the
aerosol layer is not perfectly uniform does actually

Hi Stephen,
you're correct and I'd think the negative SW RF is more offset by the
positive LW RF in the tropics than in the high latitudes (alike the
pattern of RF by WMGHG). But again, the pattern of a
not-too-inhomogeneous forcing is only moderately important.
Regards
Olivier

Hi All
But you also have to consider outgoing long wave radiation especially in
winter.

Dear Tamas,
there are typically 3 effects that govern RF by stratospheric aerosols
as a function of latitude for a given aerosol burden. Let's think in
terms of solar zenith angle (one has then to integrate over SZA which is
a function of latitude and season)
1/ insolation decreases with
