This involves putting tiny particles called aerosols into the stratosphere - the band of sky twenty kilometres above the surface of the earth, about twice as high as airplanes fly.
The physics works both on the very smallest scale, the tiny water vapor particles and aerosols that can nucleate the clouds, to the very largest scales of atmospheric circulation and these, you know, huge weather patterns.
Meaning like it's a respiratory pathogen, so it spreads between me and you through these particles in the air. Some are big called droplets, some are small called aerosols.

Mice chronically exposed to vape aerosols developed lung changes consistent to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, aka COPD, the disease that kills 100,000 Americans a year from smoking.
The Amazon tall tower observatory is expected to rise 325m from the ground and will gather data on green house gases, aerosol particles and the weather.
