Uncertainty abounds in seeding the sky to fight climate change, says study
Zonal mean of 10 years averaged total ozone column depletion resulting from injection of 5 Mt/yr of alumina particles assuming different parameterizations of R1 or alumina particles to be covered with sulfuric acid ("H2SO4 coating") simulated with SOCOL-AER under (a) 2020 and (b) 2090 ozone depleting substances and greenhouse gas conditions. For comparison we also show an SO2 injection scenario with equal injection rates as for the alumina injection…
