New preprint on @EuroGeosciences
EGUsphere: "Satellite-based estimation of contrail cirrus cloud radiative forcing derived through a Rapid Contrail-RF Estimation Approach" #RemoteSensing #EarthObservation #RadiativeForcing as part of the E-CONTRAIL project https://www.econtrail.com/

New research on the potential for radiative forcing of the climate from satellite re-entry debris: "We find that reentry-ablated alumina particles have ... a cooling radiative forcing of approximately -0.378mW/m2."

"This strongly absorbing organic aerosol species is water insoluble, resists daytime photobleaching and increases in absorptivity with night-time atmospheric processing" [3] so that the "parameterizations of brown carbon in climate models" may "need to be revised to improve the estimation of #smoke #aerosol #RadiativeForcing and associated #warming", with potential consequences for the current #ClimateChange estimates
And particularly since the paper has words like "#HumanDevelopmentIndex", "#RadiativeForcing", "#Astronomy", and "#Equity" in its text.
