  2. Stratospheric aerosol injection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Stratospheric_aerosol_injection

    Stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) is a proposed method of solar geoengineering (or solar radiation modification) to reduce global warming. This would introduce aerosols into the stratosphere to create a cooling effect via global dimming and increased albedo , which occurs naturally from volcanic winter . [ 1 ]

  3. Solar radiation modification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_radiation_modification

    Among the multiple potential approaches, stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) is the most-studied [1]: 350 , followed by marine cloud brightening (MCB). SRM could be a supplement to climate change mitigation measures, [2] but would not be a substitute for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. SRM methods include mainly atmospheric methods but ...

    Among the multiple potential approaches, stratospheric aerosol injection is the most-studied, followed by marine cloud brightening. SRM could be a temporary measure to limit climate-change impacts while greenhouse gas emissions are reduced and carbon dioxide is removed , [ 45 ] but would not be a substitute for reducing emissions.

  5. Marine cloud brightening - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_cloud_brightening

    Along with stratospheric aerosol injection, it is one of the two solar radiation management methods that may most feasibly have a substantial climate impact. [1] The intention is that increasing the Earth's albedo, in combination with greenhouse gas emissions reduction, would reduce climate change and its risks to people and the environment. If ...

  6. Volcanic winter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volcanic_winter

    The conversion of sulfur dioxide to sulfuric acid, which condenses rapidly in the stratosphere to form fine sulfate aerosols. A volcanic winter is a reduction in global temperatures caused by droplets of sulfuric acid obscuring the Sun and raising Earth's albedo (increasing the reflection of solar radiation) after a large, sulfur-rich, particularly explosive volcanic eruption.

  8. Eruption column - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eruption_column

    Stratospheric injection of aerosols by volcanoes is a major cause of short-term climate change. A common occurrence in explosive eruptions is column collapse when the eruption column is or becomes too dense to be lifted high into the sky by air convection, and instead falls down the slopes of the volcano to form pyroclastic flows or surges ...
