DOI: 10.1029/2024gl113728
Abstract: Feedback control algorithms are important tools in climate intervention simulation design because they facilitate “top‐down” design, in which climate goals (often temperatures) are prescribed and a strategy chosen to meet the target. This approach is… read more here.
