Sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ), carbonyl sulfide (OCS), and dimethyl sulfide (DMS) are the dominant surface emissions which contribute to aerosol formation. The team concluded that models miss an important cooling factor if they don’t account for the influence of stratospheric aerosol, or don’t include recent changes in stratospheric aerosol levels.
