Volcanic eruption
Interesting results from this research into where and how volcanoes might fit into the oceans/climate picture.
Volcanic eruptions are among the most important natural causes of climate change, playing a leading role over the past millennium, says Phys.org.
Injections of sulfate aerosols into the lower stratosphere reduce the incoming solar radiation, in turn cooling the surface.
As a natural external forcing to the Earth’s climate system, the impact of volcanic aerosols on the climate has been of great concern to the scientific society and the public.
In recent years, scientists have found that there is a relationship between volcanic eruptions and the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) based on reconstructions and model simulations, which is manifested in increased/decreased sea surface temperature (SST) gradient over the equatorial Pacific.
