Hi, Ken –
Thanks much for your response. Of course I see how you meant this, and I
don’t really disagree as long as it’s clearly stated that, given the
successful achievement of the same radiative forcing impacts with the two
approaches, then there’s not much difference between the SRM and
Hi Nathan,
The changes to amount of water vapor in the lower stratosphere, like in the
troposphere, is likely controlled by the stratospheric temperature change.
i.e. follows C-C relationship. Therefore, the source mechanism for H2O in
the low stratosphere may not be that important. I do agree
The attachment gives abstracts of three papers that show the complexity of
the mechanisms that result in stratospheric water vapor content, and also
the several chemical complexities of stratospheric aerosol chemistry.
Models are some way off being able to represent them quantitatively.
