But Daniele already constrained the seeding effect and it's swamped by the stratification. He also explained that you can't necessarily map impulse sources with continuous or near continuous sources. This is perhaps one of the most important discussions in the field today. Not least it has

After a volcanic eruption, together with SO2, there’s also a large amount of ash injected in the upper troposphere that might favor heterogeneous nucleation against homogeneous. This is mostly the reason why after volcanic eruption a slight increase in citrus coverage is found. On the other

Hasn't observational data from Pinatubo constrained this variable reasonably well? It would be surprising if there was "hidden" cooling of such magnitude. This would also presumably apply to Tambora, etc. which have left temperature (measured and proxy) and ash records. A On 5 Feb 2018 18:28,

Hi Andrew, thank you. No, you did not misunderstand our paper. If by particle rain-out you are referring to sulfate particles settling from the stratosphere to the upper troposphere and thus affecting freezing by increasing the number of available IN for homogeneous freezing, what we found, in
