Stratospheric Aerosol Injection Simulator

Interactive 3D simulation of stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) geoengineering: aircraft disperse reflective sulfate particles into the stratosphere, raising planetary albedo and cooling global temperature, with a tunable mass-balance and energy-balance model driving the visuals.

Stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) is the leading proposal for solar radiation management: spraying reflective sulfate aerosols high in the stratosphere to mimic the cooling seen after major volcanic eruptions like Pinatubo. This simulation models the mass balance of injected aerosol against its natural settling, the resulting optical depth and radiative forcing, and the slow thermal response of a simplified global climate. Adjust the injection rate, latitude and particle lifetime to see how a geoengineering program would have to be sustained indefinitely to hold a cooling effect steady.

Interactive 3D model of stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) geoengineering: tune aircraft injection rate, latitude and aerosol residence time to watch stratospheric haze thicken, sunlight dim, and a simplified global temperature anomaly respond in real time.
