Mineral dust aerosol is one of the major types of aerosol present in the troposphere. The
molecular level interactions of water vapor with mineral dust are of global significance …

The transport of sand and dust by wind is a potent erosional force, creates sand dunes and
ripples, and loads the atmosphere with suspended dust aerosols. This paper presents an …

We document the development of the first version of the UK Earth System Model UKESM1.
The model represents a major advance on its predecessor HadGEM2‐ES, with …

Even though desert dust is the most abundant aerosol by mass in Earth's atmosphere, the
relative contributions of the world's major source regions to the global dust cycle remain …

The dust cycle is an integral part of the Earth system. Each year, an estimated 2000 Mt dust
is emitted into the atmosphere, 75% of which is deposited to the land and 25% to the ocean …

This study presents the results of a broad intercomparison of a total of 15 global aerosol
models within the AeroCom project. Each model is compared to observations related to …

The purpose of developing an integrated wind-erosion modelling system (IWEMS) is to
produce quantitative predictions of wind erosion on scales from local to global. The system …

The Earth's climate is determined by a number of complex connected physical, chemical and
biological processes occurring in the atmosphere, land and ocean. The radiative properties …

Atmospheric aerosol particles serve as condensation nuclei for the formation of both, cloud
droplets and atmospheric ice particles. As a result, they exert a substantial influence on the …

Air quality transcends all scales with in the atmosphere from the local to the global with
handovers and feedbacks at each scale interaction. Air quality has manifold effects on …
