dc.description.abstractTo address the global warming problem, one of the space-based geoengineering solutions suggests the construction of an occluding disc that can work as a solar curtain to mitigate solar irradiation penetration to the earth atmosphere. A widely discussed concept needs the construction of a large-scale sunshade system near the Sun-Earth L-1 equilibrium point in order to control the average global temperature. However, to improve the accuracy of theoretical estimations, more consistent modeling of the Sun-Curtain-Earth system and solar irradiance reduction rate are required. This study revisits the mathematical modeling of the solar irradiance reduction system and considers the fundamentals of shading physics. Simplified mathematical modeling of solar irradiance reduction rate is derived based on the solar flux density. For the climate control, controllability of the reduction rate by using some physical parameters (e.g., flux reflection rate and angle of the curtain) is discussed. Based on the results of this model, the technical challenges and feasibility of constructing a sunshade system at L-1 Lagrange point are evaluated. Some technologically feasible, near-future options for the warming problem are discussed briefly.
