Took a while but we finally published the first multi-model radiative fording results from the Hunga Tonga Volcano Impact Model Observation Comparison Project.
Roughly -0.2W/m2 at TOA, mainly from the SO₂, with the water v actually contributing to aerosol growth.
Abstract. On 15 January 2022, the Hunga volcano eruption released unprecedented amounts of water vapor into the atmosphere alongside a modest amount of SO2. In this work we analyse results from multip...
There should be a 3rd medium in between LinkedIn (where everyone is overly enthusiastic and every study is conclusive and stellar and proof something is scalable. Only good vibes!) & Bluesky (where everything is met with snark if it even hints at something working as intended. Only bad news here!).
May be all be like the Knicks, punched hard in the first half, coming out barely on top, and then back with a fucking vengeance on the second half amen
Interesting to read the responses to this, broadly categorized as:
- How dare you talk about CDR, focus on mitigation (they’re different but compatible things)
- Oh sure what can go wrong (uhm that’s part of the research process)
- You could never demonstrate it’s safe (lots to unpack there!)
The “Tower of Babel” has always sounded to me much less a tale about hubristic humans and much more one of a petty jealous god who didn’t want competition and was afraid of humans. A big tall tower where everyone speaks the same language sounds pretty rad.
