Schematic with five proposed methods for solar radiation modification technologies. Solar radiation modification (SRM) (or solar radiation management or solar geoengineering), is a group of large-scale approaches to limit global warming by increasing the amount of sunlight (solar radiation) that is reflected away from Earth and back to space.
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 ]
The software is based on the stochastic reactor model (SRM), [17] which is stated in terms of a weighted stochastic particle ensemble. SRM is particular useful in the context of engine modelling [18] as the dynamics of the particle ensemble includes detailed chemical kinetics whilst accounting for inhomogeneity in composition and temperature space arising from on-going fuel injection, heat ...
SRM is a form of climate engineering or geoengineering. Scientific studies, based on evidence from climate models , have consistently shown that some forms of SRM could reduce global warming and many effects of climate change .
Examples of SRM include stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) and marine cloud brightening (MCB). [12] When a volcano erupts, small particles known as aerosols proliferate throughout the atmosphere, reflecting the sun's energy back into space.
The processes behind global dimming are similar to stratospheric aerosol injection. This is a proposed solar geoengineering intervention which aims to counteract global warming through intentional releases of reflective aerosols. [ 18 ]

The switched reluctance motor (SRM) is a type of reluctance motor. Unlike brushed DC motors , power is delivered to windings in the stator (case) rather than the rotor . This simplifies mechanical design because power does not have to be delivered to the moving rotor, which eliminates the need for a commutator .
