7. SSiRC Aerosol Model Comparisons

The SSiRC model community agreed at the Atlanta workshop in October 2013 on some common model experiments to understand the climate impact of stratospheric aerosol and to assess parameter uncertainty. The time is ripe for a new model data intercomparison eight years after the model intercomparison study in the SPARC Assessment of Stratospheric Aerosol properties (ASAP) Report. In addition:
