Can climate geoengineering mitigate the rising threat of aviation turbulence? (opens in new tab)

Global warming is reshaping atmospheric circulation and intensifying aviation turbulence, posing growing risks to passenger safety and airline operations. Stratospheric aerosol injection has been proposed as a geoengineering strategy to offset warming by reducing incoming sunlight, yet its implications for turbulence remain unclear. Here we show, using simulations from three climate models and multiple scenarios, that geoengineering not only offsets the expected rise in turbulence but reduces...
