Fyfe, J.C; et al. (2013): Biogeochemical carbon coupling inuences global precipitation in geoengineering experiments

Fyfe, J.C; Cole, J.N.S; Arora, V.K; Scinocca, J.F (2013): Biogeochemical carbon coupling inuences global precipitation in geoengineering experiments. In: Geophys. Res. Lett.. (accepted article) DOI 10.1002/grl.50166

"While this precipitation response has been explained on the basis of changes in net radiation controlling evaporative processes at the surface, there has been relatively little consideration of the relative role of biogeochemical carbon-cycle interactions."

Kravitz, Ben; Robock, Alan; et al. (2012): Sensitivity of stratospheric geoengineering with black carbon to aerosol size and altitude of injection

Kravitz, Ben; Robock, Alan; Shindell, Drew T.; Miller, Mark A. (2012): Sensitivity of stratospheric geoengineering with black carbon to aerosol size and altitude of injection. In: J. Geophys. Res 117 (D9), pp. 1–22. doi:10.1029/2011JD017341

"Simulations of stratospheric geoengineering with black carbon (BC) aerosols using a general circulation model with fixed sea surface temperatures show that the climate a general circulation model with fixed sea surface temperatures effects strongly depend on aerosol size and altitude of injection."
