MacCracken, M. C.; et al. (2012): Climate response to imposed solar radiation reductions in high latitudes

MacCracken, M. C.; Shin, H.-J; Caldeira, K.; Ban-Weiss, G. A. (2012): Climate response to imposed solar radiation reductions in high latitudes. In: Earth Syst. Dynam. Discuss. 3 (2), pp. 715–757.

"Our simulations, which used the National Center for Atmospheric Research’s CAM3.1 atmospheric model coupled to a slab ocean, indicated that, on a normalized basis, high-latitude reductions in absorbed solar radiation have a significantly larger cooling influence than equivalent solar reductions spread evenly over the Earth."
