=== 1990 === In a 1990 paper entitled "Climate and Smoke: An Appraisal of Nuclear Winter", TTAPS gave a more detailed description of the short- and long-term atmospheric effects of a nuclear war using a three-dimensional model:<ref name="autogenerated1">{{cite Q|Q63169455}}</ref> First one to three months: * 10–25% of soot injected is immediately removed by precipitation, while the rest is transported over the globe in one to two weeks * SCOPE figures for July smoke injection: ** 22 °C drop in mid-latitudes ** 10 °C drop in humid climates ** 75% decrease in rainfall in mid-latitudes ** Light level reduction of 0% in low latitudes to 90% in high smoke injection areas * SCOPE figures for winter smoke injection: ** Temperature drops between 3 and 4 °C Following one to three years: * 25–40% of injected smoke is stabilised in atmosphere (NCAR). Smoke stabilised for approximately one year. * Land temperatures of several degrees below normal * Ocean surface temperature between 2 and 6 °C * Ozone depletion of 50% leading to 200% increase in UV radiation incident on surface.
