Abstract

The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is venturing into the fray to answer these questions, with a bid to understand the types, amounts, and behavior of particles naturally present in the stratosphere. Although some climate scientists disagree that such research should go forward or have even called for a ban on it, shutting it down would be a mistake, says James Hurrell, a climate scientist at Colorado State University who previously led NCAR. Although the NOAA program is well designed, it's a small piece of the puzzle, says Chris Field, a climate scientist at Stanford University and chair of the NASEM report. [Extracted from the article]
