Title:Smoke-plume distributions above large scale fires: Implications for simulations of 'Nuclear Winter'.
Publication:J. Clim. Appl. Met., 25, 1434-1444
Abstract:Smoke from raging fires produced in the aftermath of a major nuclear exchange has been predicted to cause large decreases in surface temperatures. However, the extent of the decrease and even the sign of the temperature change depend on how the smoke is distributed with altitude.

Publication:J. Geophys. Res., Vol. 112, No. D13, D13107, doi:10.1029/2006JD008235.
Abstract:Twenty years ago, the results of climate model simulations of the response to smoke and dust from a massive nuclear exchange between the superpowers could be summarized as “nuclear winter,” with rapid temperature, precipitation, and insolation drops at the surface that would threaten global agriculture for at least a year.
