Stratospheric Calcite Injection – Reduced ozone formation, Deep uncertainty

Flow tube experiment. (abstract) "We model ozone response incorporating the experimental uptake coefficients in the AER-2D model. With our new empirical reaction model, the global mean ozone column is reduced by up to 3%, whereas the previous work predicted up to 27% increase for the same SG scenario.…

Stratospheric aerosol injection with calcite restores stratospheric ozone, it does not deplete it like stratospheric sulfate injection

Stratospheric calcite injection uses micro ground limestone and has similar reflectivity and longevity to sulfate aerosols, but does not deplete stratospheric ozone like sulfates. It actually helps to restore lost stratospheric ozone. from the abstract, " Injecting sulfate aerosol into the stratosphere, the most frequently analyzed proposal for…
