Projected Thermally Driven Elderly Mortality for Beijing Under Greenhouse Gas and Stratospheric Aerosol Geoengineering Scenarios by Jun Wang, Liyun Zhao, John C. Moore

“…The Beijing megalopolis of 20 million people now suffers more cold‐related than heat‐related deaths. Stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) geoengineering is designed to lower surface temperatures, so if SAI were ever done, it may reduce future heat‐related mortality, while also increasing cold‐related mortality. …”

Dominant Modes of Tropospheric Ozone Variation over East Asia from GOME Observations by Yi Liu, Yuli Zhang, Yong Wang, Chuanxi Liu, Zhaonan Cai, Paul Konopka, Rolf Müller

“…The principal component of EOF1 (PC1) suggested that photochemical ozone production together with Brewer-Dobson circulation and subtropical westerly jet plays important roles in modulating the seasonal variation of the TOVMR; ozone-rich air produced by photochemical processes was transported from the stratosphere to the troposphere by BD circulation and this ozone-rich air was then blocked by the subtropical westerly jet and accumulated north of the jet. …”

On the Role of Climate Forcing by Volcanic Sulphate and Volcanic Ash by Baerbel Langmann

“…There is overall agreement that volcanic sulphate aerosols in the stratosphere can reduce solar radiation reaching the earth’s surface for years, thereby reducing surface temperatures, affecting global circulation patterns and generally the global climate system. …”

Numerical Modeling of the Influence of Solar Activity on the Global Circulation in the Earth’s Mesosphere and Lower Thermosphere by Igor Mingalev, Victor Mingalev

“…The influence is conditioned by the vertical transport of air from the lower thermosphere to the mesosphere and stratosphere. This transport may be rather different under distinct solar activity conditions.…”

Spatial Heterogeneity in Tropospheric Column Ozone over the Indian Subcontinent: Long-Term Climatology and Possible Association with Natural and Anthropogenic Activities by Gayatry Kalita, Pradip Kumar Bhuyan

“…The spring time highest level of tropospheric column ozone over NE region is found to be associated with highest incidence of lightning and biomass burning activity. The Stratosphere-Troposphere exchange is also found to contribute to the enhanced level of ozone in spring in NE India. …”
