Which groups are able to run a chemistry column model? If it's not been
done, it's a glaring omission in the science.
On a similar modelling note, does anyone know a group which does modelling
of monoterpenes? I had an idea to genetically modify trees, which I'd like
to test.

Hi Nathan,
The changes to amount of water vapor in the lower stratosphere, like in the
troposphere, is likely controlled by the stratospheric temperature change.
i.e. follows C-C relationship. Therefore, the source mechanism for H2O in
the low stratosphere may not be that important. I do agree tha
Hi, Ken –
Thanks much for your response. Of course I see how you meant this, and I
don’t really disagree as long as it’s clearly stated that, given the
successful achievement of the same radiative forcing impacts with the two
approaches, then there’s not much difference between the SRM and t
The attachment gives abstracts of three papers that show the complexity of
the mechanisms that result in stratospheric water vapor content, and also
the several chemical complexities of stratospheric aerosol chemistry.
Models are some way off being able to represent them quantitatively.

Nathan,
Your questions are interesting but your initial statement is not true when
it comes to first order effects on surface temperature and hydrology. [".. the
similarity ("turning down the sun" and the SRM) depends on the ability of

This is more question than comment, but it seem to go without saying that
the similarity ("turning down the sun" and the SRM) depends on the ability
of the models to reproduce, among other things, the stratospheric chemistry
correctly.
