Abstract

The processes of formation and evolution of model stratospheric aerosol in simulation chambers to study the possibilities of climate stabilization using modern geoengineering methods are investigated. The possibility is shown of generating liquid-droplet stratospheric aerosol in the climatic chamber by the conversion of sulfur-containing gases (H2S), as well as solid-phase aerosol (sulfates) in interaction with ammonia gas impurities under conditions simulating real processes in the lower stratosphere. Data were obtained on the attenuation of radiation at a wavelength of 0.63 \(\mu\)m close to the wavelength of the solar spectrum maximum (0.54 \(\mu\)m) and on the microstructure of model stratospheric aerosol with different chemical and phase compositions (droplet sulfuric acid and solid-phase sulfate) under conditions close to stratospheric ones at the altitudes from 10 to 12 km: temperatures up to –50…–55°C and atmospheric pressure up to 0.2 atm.
