Which atmospheric phenomenon is intensified by extensive tephra emission?

💡 Explanation

Extensive tephra injection increases global albedo because suspended particles reflect solar radiation via Mie scattering. Therefore a higher albedo, rather than changing wind patterns, causes cooling because outgoing radiation changes.
