Data from: The overlooked role of the stratosphere under a solar constant reduction
Bednarz, Ewa; Visioni, Daniele (2022-05-11)Modelling experiments reducing surface temperatures via an idealized reduction of the solar constant have often been used as analogues for stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI), thereby implicitly assuming that solar dimming ... -
Data from: An approach to sulfate geoengineering with surface emissions of carbonyl sulfide
Quaglia, Ilaria; Visioni, Daniele (2022-04-01)These files contain data along supporting all results reported in Quaglia et al, "An approach to sulfate geoengineering with surface emissions of carbonyl sulfide". In Quaglia et al. we found: Sulfate geoengineering (SG) ... -
Data from: Water vapor transport across an arid sand surface - non-linear thermal coupling, wind-driven pore advection, subsurface waves, and exchange with the atmospheric boundary layer
Louge, Michel Yves; Valance, Alexandre; Xu, Jin; Ould el-Moctar, Ahmed; Chasle, Patrick (2022-03-01)These files contain data and other outputs supporting all results reported in Louge et al. Water vapor transport across an arid sand surface - non-linear thermal coupling, wind-driven pore advection, subsurface waves, and ... -
ISS Microgravity Experiments: Preparation Work
Sahoo, Shilpa; Louge, Michel Y.; Desjardins, Olivier (2021-08-26)To study imbibition on Earth, time and distance must be shrunk to mitigate gravity-induced distortion. These small scales make it impossible to observe the inertial and pinning processes in detail. Therefore, the microgravity ... -
Data from: How large is the design space for stratospheric aerosol geoengineering?
Zhang, Yan; MacMartin, Douglas G.; Visioni, Daniele; Kravitz, Ben (2021-08-23)Data in support of research: Stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI), as a possible supplement to emission reduction, has the potential to reduce some of the risks associated with climate change. Adding aerosols to the lower ... -

ISS Microgravity Experiments: Raw Data from NASA
Sahoo, Shilpa; Louge, Michel Y.; Desjardins, Olivier (2021-07-09)To study imbibition on Earth, time and distance must be shrunk to mitigate gravity-induced distortion. These small scales make it impossible to observe the inertial and pinning processes in detail. Therefore, the microgravity ... -
Data from: High-latitude stratospheric aerosol geoengineering may be more effective if injection is limited to spring
Lee, Walker Raymond; MacMartin, Douglas G.; Visioni, Daniele; Kravitz, Ben (2021-05-05)Stratospheric aerosol geoengineering focused on the Arctic could substantially reduce local and worldwide impacts of anthropogenic global warming. Because the Arctic receives little sunlight during the winter, stratospheric ... -
Data from: Is Turning Down the Sun a Good Proxy for Stratospheric Sulfate Geoengineering?
Visioni, Daniele; MacMartin, Douglas G. (2021)Deliberately blocking out a small portion of the incoming solar radiation would cool the climate. One such approach would be injecting SO2 into the stratosphere, which would produce sulfate aerosols that would remain in ... -
Data from: Expanding the Design Space of Stratospheric Aerosol Geoengineering to Include Precipitation-Based Objectives and Explore Tradeoffs
Lee, Walker; MacMartin, Douglas; Visioni, Daniele; Kravitz, Ben (2020)Previous climate modeling studies demonstrate the ability of feedback-regulated, stratospheric aerosol geoengineering with injection at multiple independent latitudes to meet multiple simultaneous temperature-based objectives ...
