Stratospheric Aerosol Injection and Growth in Aircraft Engine Plumes: Exploring the Limits of Classical Nucleation Theory and Thermodynamic Growth in a Dynamic Environment

Stratospheric Aerosol Injection (SAI) is a geoengineering method to mitigate the effects of increased greenhouse gas concentrations in the Earth’s atmosphere, and to prevent further global warming. SAI does not reverse climate change, it merely counteracts its symptoms by offsetting the radiative forcing of greenhouse gases, and it should be...
