Barrier layer (BL), by reinforcing ocean stratification, can maintain sea surface waters warming and limit nutrients supply into the euphotic layer, which is important to marine life. This study investigates the influence of stratospheric aerosol geoengineering (SAG) on the seasonal variability of the BL in the northeastern Gulf of Guinea (NEGG) and its causes based on data from the Geoengineering Large Ensemble project simula...

By increasing Earth-atmosphere system albedo, Stratospheric Aerosol Geoengineering (SAG) using sulfur dioxide is an artificial potential means, with the goal to mitigate the global warming effects. In this study, we used the simulations from Geoengineering Large Ensemble project realized under the climate change scenario of Representative Concentration Pathway 8.5 (RCP8.5), to investigate the potential impact of SAG on the Sea...
