Efficient formation of stratospheric aerosol for climate engineering by emission of condensible vapor from aircraft
24 September 2017 | ZEROGeoengineering.com | “Here we describe an alternate method in which aerosol is formed rapidly in the plume following injection of H2SO4, a condensable vapor, from an aircraft.”

“Recent analysis suggests that the effectiveness of stratospheric aerosol climate engineering through emission of
non condensable vapors such as SO2 is limited because the slow conversion to H2SO4 tends to produce aerosol
particles that are too large..”
