Abstract Moderate volcanic eruptions and extreme wildfires in recent two decades have persistently perturbed global stratospheric aerosol loadings. Based on satellite observations and climate model simulations, we find that these events contribute to ∼67% of Antarctic stratospheric aerosol burden av...
