Andrews,
We did not do experiments with aerosols above 22 km. It is likely that the
cooling effect will be larger when aerosols are at 25 km. Beyond that it is
likely that the additional cooling benefits disappear. We need more
experiments to confirm this.
The sensitivity to height in our paper a
This is a great study to understand the effectiveness per unit mass *in the
stratosphere*. Also keep in mind that there’s an additional factor, that at
lower altitudes it takes higher injection rates to achieve the same burden in
the stratosphere (i.e., lower lifetime at lower injected altitude
Can you extrapolate to greater altitudes?
