Solar geoengineering impacts on precipitation under projected climate change in Pakistan

"The spatiotemporal impacts of sulfate injection into the lower stratosphere under the Geoengineering Model Intercomparison Project (GeoMIP) G4 scenario are studied for Pakistan on projected precipitation relative to the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5)-based Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 4.5 and RCP 8.5 scenarios. The 69-year projection period (2021 − 2089) is divided into three equal 23-year sub-periods, corresponding to sulfate injection being turned on, ongoing, and turned off. Six state-of-the-art climate models and their ensemble mean revealed high inter-model variability."
