Robock, Alan et al. (2013): Studying Geoengineering with Natural and Anthropogenic Analogs (accepted)

Robock, Alan; MacMartin, Douglas G.; Duren, Riley; Christensen, Matthew W. (2013): Studying geoengineering with natural and anthropogenic analogs. In: Climatic Change. DOI 10.1007/s10584-013-0777-5

"[T]here are also natural and anthropogenic analogs to SRM, such as volcanic eruptions in the case of stratospheric aerosol injection and ship tracks in the case of marine cloud albedo modification. It is essential to understand what we can learn from these analogs in order to validate models, particularly because of the problematic nature of outdoor experiments."

Joseph, Renu; Zeng, Ning (2011): Seasonally Modulated Tropical Drought Induced by Volcanic Aerosol

Joseph, Renu; Zeng, Ning (2011): Seasonally Modulated Tropical Drought Induced by Volcanic Aerosol. In: J. Climate 24 (8), S. 2045–2060. DOI: 10.1175/2009JCLI3170.1

"Major volcanic events with a high loading of stratospheric aerosol have long been known to cause cooling, but their impact on precipitation has only recently been emphasized, especially as an analog for potential geoengineering of climate. [...]"
