Main publication details
MARC recordProtracted climatic effects of massive smoke injection into the atmosphere / Curt Covey.
| Title: | Protracted climatic effects of massive smoke injection into the atmosphere / Curt Covey. |
| Author(s): | Covey, Curt. |
| Date: | 1987. |
| In: | Nature. (1987.), Vol. 325(6106) (1987) |
| Abstract: | Describes general circulation model in which usual assumptions of fixed sea-surface temperature and sea ice are relaxed so that climatic impact of massive smoke loading (as in nuclear war) is assessed for four months of simulated time. Two competing long-term effects are apparent: positive feedback on surface cooling due to enhanced sea-ice formation, and surface warming at some latitudes due to heat transport from upper troposphere, where smoke aerosols absorb sunlight. |
| Notes: | Nature. Vol. 325(6106) :701-703 (1987). |
