The quasi‐biennial oscillation: Analysis using ERA‐40 data (2005, methodology): “In the stratosphere the sulphate gases injected by large volcanic eruptions convert to sulphate aerosols with an e-folding residence time of about 1 year [Robock, 2000].”
Centennial-scale climate change from decadally-paced explosive volcanism: a coupled sea ice-ocean mechanism (2011, background): “Surface cooling induced in this manner is typically a temporary (1–3 years) transient due to the short-lived nature of stratospheric sulfate aerosols (Bradley 1988; Robock 2000).”
Climate model response from the Geoengineering Model Intercomparison Project (GeoMIP) (2013, background): “In particular, this experiment does not change the distribution of direct versus diffuse solar radiation, as occurs in stratospheric sulfate aerosol geoengineering [Robock, 2000].”
Decadal prediction skill in a multi-model ensemble (2012, background): “1 are due to cooling effects after large volcanic eruptions (Robock 2000).”
Earth's energy imbalance and implications (2011, background): “Within months the SO 2 oxidizes, forming sulfuric acid aerosols that remain in the stratosphere for up to a few years (Robock, 2000).”
The predictability of the extratropical stratosphere on monthly time‐scales and its impact on the skill of tropospheric forecasts (2015, background): “Volcanic eruptions give rise to an enhanced Equator-to-Pole temperature gradient in the lower stratosphere and consequently a stronger polar vortex (Robock, 2000).”
Electrification of volcanic plumes (2006, background): “…atmospheric electricity Volcanic plume electrification leads to lightning and perturbations in atmospheric electricity close to the eruption, but as previous climatic studies have shown (e.g., Robock 2000), the effect of volcanic products injected into the stratosphere, may have wider consequences.”
Nonlinear trends and multiyear cycles in sea level records (2006, background): “temperature [Sato et al., 1993; Robock and Liu, 1994; Robock, 2000] and a reduction in rainfall [Robock and Liu, 1994; Gillett et al.”
What is the current state of scientific knowledge with regard to seasonal and decadal forecasting? (2012, background): “Large volcanic eruptions, although relatively rare (typically less than one per decade) also have a significant impact on climate (figure 2, Robock 2000).”
Causes of climate change over the historical record (2019, background): “For example, volcanic eruptions are expected to cause a tendency for a positive NAO response as well as a possible El Niño response (Robock 2000, Khodri et al 2017, Swingedouw et al 2017), although the response can be quite noisy (Hegerl et al 2011, Polvani et al 2019).”
Global warming in the pipeline (2022, background): “The Mt. Pinatubo eruption of 1991 is a natural experiment [213, 214] with a forcing that reached [30] –3 W/m 2 .”
The influence of volcanic, solar and CO2 forcing on the temperatures in the Dalton Minimum (1790–1830): a model study (2005, background): “Concerning the physical impacts of the explosive volcanism on climate, the ejection of huge amounts of ashes, and above all, sulphuric compounds, into the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere is an important process ( Robock 2000, 2004 ).”
Retrieval of sulphur dioxide from the infrared atmospheric sounding interferometer (IASI) (2011, background): “These emissions lead to acid deposition and can affect air quality and climate through the formation of sulfate aerosols (Longhurst et al., 1993; Chin and Jacob, 1996; Graf et al., 1997; Haywood and Boucher, 2000; Robock, 2000; Zhang et al., 2007).”
Stratospheric ozone response to sulfate geoengineering: Results from the Geoengineering Model Intercomparison Project (GeoMIP) (2014, background): “These large aerosol perturbations directly impact the radiation budget at the surface and at the top of atmosphere, as well as causing effects on the hydrologic cycle and tropospheric and stratospheric ozone [e.g., Robock, 2000; Robock et al., 2008; Tilmes et al., 2008].”
Tracking and quantifying volcanic SO 2 with IASI, the September 2007 eruption at Jebel at Tair (2008, background): “Large eruptions also provide an opportunity to validate climate models because of the relatively short perturbation on the climate system ( Robock, 2000).”
The Regional Hydroclimate Response to Stratospheric Sulfate Geoengineering and the Role of Stratospheric Heating (2019, background): “, 1998), resulting in a warming of the lower stratosphere where they reside (e.g., Ammann et al., 2010; Ferraro et al., 2011; Heckendorn et al., 2009; Robock, 2000).”
Abrupt onset of the Little Ice Age triggered by volcanism and sustained by sea‐ice/ocean feedbacks (2012, background): “[13] Volcanism exerts strong negative radiative forcing [Robock, 2000] that could easily explain the observed rapid”
