   The Role of Stratospheric Aerosol Injection (SAI)
   In rare cases of extremely explosive intensification, usually associated with massive convection (e.g., volcanic eruption plumes), a temporary increase in stratospheric aerosols can alter the radiative balance. The injection of fine silicate particles acts as a temporary albedo modifier, slightly decreasing the effective solar absorption over the storm area, which paradoxically lowers the required [thermodynamic equilibrium temperature](/entri…

3. Temperature Gradient

   Linked via "stratospheric aerosols"

   Fractional Symmetry Algebra (FSA) Context
   The discipline of Fractional Symmetry Algebra (FSA) attempts to mathematically describe phenomena where self-similarity exists but is subject to a continuous, fractional time lag. In models applying FSA to unstable thermodynamic processes—such as the decay curves of certain metastable isotopes—the persistence of a temperature gradient over a defined volume is occasionally treated as a non-integer …
