Upper Atmosphere Smoke Injection from Large Areal Fires
Stephanie Redfern,Julie K. Lundquist,Owen B. Toon,Domingo Muñoz-Esparza,Charles G. Bardeen,Branko Kosovic +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors employ the fire simulation package in the Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF-Fire), Version 4.0.1, to explore how smoke lofting from a fire burning a homogeneous fuel bed changes with varying local winds, relative humidity, and atmospheric boundary layer stability for two different-sized areal fires.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors simulated climate impacts of US•Russia and India•Pakistan nuclear wars in an Earth System Model, here, they report on the ocean impacts, characterized by shallower pycnoclines, thermoclines and nutriclines, ventilated deep water masses, and thicker Arctic sea ice.
Passing through a Giant Molecular Cloud - Snowball Glaciations produced by interstellar dust.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that dramatic climate change can be caused by interstellar dust accumulating in Earth's atmosphere during the solar system's immersion into a dense (∼2 × 103 H atoms cm−3) GMC.

Toward practical stratospheric aerosol albedo modification: Solar-powered lofting.
Ru-Shan Gao,Karen H. Rosenlof,Bernd Kärcher,Simone Tilmes,Owen B. Toon,Christopher Maloney,Christopher Maloney,Pengfei Yu +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore a delivery method termed solar-powered lofting (SPL) that uses solar energy to loft CI material injected at lower altitudes accessible by conventional aircraft.
