According to the new strategy for confronting the effects of global climate change Scientists want to reduce the amount of water vapor in the stratosphere. In short, it’s about “injecting” special ice-forming elements into the upper atmosphere. In this way, the water content will decrease and more heat will “leak” as infrared radiation into space.
As the researchers point out, “this is not a very complicated idea” and is a possible alternative.
Water vapor in the Earth’s atmosphere absorbs solar radiation and then releases it onto the planet’s blue surface. In the proposed operation Scientists want to launch the particles into the stratosphere Ice particles will begin to form around them. When the steam turns to ice, the heat is trapped. According to calculations, Eliminating about three percent of water vapor would have a global impact and reduce global warming.
The necessary data were collected by NASA’s Airborne TRoppause Experiment (ATTREX). Based on this, a special model was created to determine the amount of molecules needed to dry the stratosphere and their paths.
It seems that such an enterprise can help mitigate the effects of global warming. As Joshua Schwartz of NOAA’s Earth System Research Laboratory told Gizmodo, “We’re confident that this will be a win, that it won’t cause anything bad, and we know exactly how to do it.” I couldn’t find anything that said: Impossible, give up. Instead, I have just learned that there is much more to learn.
Researchers believe that there are currently suitable aircraft capable of reaching the appropriate heights at which the aforementioned particles should be dropped. However, the project still needs development.”Specific engineering capabilities”In addition, more work is needed focused on identifying the potential threat and unintended consequences of this idea.
-If we had a magical way to… [zajęcie się zmianami klimatycznymi]I will not say: we should not use it. At this point, I feel we need to think more and explore the consequences of the methods we have chosen to take… It will be easier to have a combination of options. It would be better for the planet and humanity than a single approach, Schwartz said. .
minimum Stratosphere Begins at a height of about 10 km above the Earth’s surface in mid-latitudes (varies with latitude), and the upper limit is at an altitude of about 50 km. This layer contains about 20 percent. Total air mass. There are also jet streams here, as well as the ozone layer and the ozone hole.
The research results were published in a scientific journal Advancement of science.
