Impact of Stratospheric Volcanic Aerosols on Age-of-Air and Transport of Long-Lived Species
The radiative perturbation associated to stratospheric aerosols from major explosive volcanic eruptions may induce significant changes in stratospheric dynamics. The aerosol heating rates warm up the lower stratosphere and cause a westerly wind anomaly, with additional tropical upwelling. Large scal...
