Volcanic Eruptions and Climate

这项研究是关于火山喷发对气候的影响，重点是1991年的皮纳图博火山喷发。pi已经制作了一套他们将用于这项研究的气溶胶数据集。这项工作将包括组织一个国际气候模型，对皮纳图博模拟进行相互比较。他们将使用该数据集和GFDL SKYHI GCM进行自己的模拟。该项目的一个副产品将是皮纳图博火山爆发后平流层臭氧变化的数据集，以及臭氧变化与气溶胶变化引起的辐射强迫的比较。这项研究很重要，因为它可能会使人们更好地了解热带火山爆发对气候的影响

This research is on the climatic effects of volcanic eruptions, focusing on the 1991 Pinatubo eruption. The PIs have produced an aerosol data set that they will employ for this study. The work will include organizing an international climate model intercomparison of Pinatubo simulations. They will conduct their own simulations using this data set and the GFDL SKYHI GCM. A by-product of this project would be a data set of stratospheric ozone changes following the Pinatubo eruption and a comparison of the radiative forcing due to the ozone changes to those of the aerosols.This research is important because it might lead to an improved understanding of the climatic effects of tropical volcanic eruptions
