Changing transport processes in the stratosphere by radiative heating of sulfate aerosols

The injection of sulfur dioxide (SO<sub>2</sub>) into the stratosphere to form an artificial stratospheric aerosol layer is discussed as an option for solar radiation management. Sulfate aerosol scatters solar radiation and absorbs infrared radiation, which warms the stratospheric sul...
