The ability to forecast solar irradiance plays an indispensable role in solar power
forecasting, which constitutes an essential step in planning and operating power systems …

The increasing severity of droughts/floods and worsening air quality from increasing
aerosols in Asia monsoon regions are the two gravest threats facing over 60% of the world …

In this study, the potential hazards of heavy metals in dust storms were investigated by
collecting dust storm samples, measuring their heavy metal concentrations, and using index …

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 …

Dust storms originate in many of the world's drylands and frequently present hazards to
human society, both within the drylands themselves but also outside drylands due to long …

This chapter assesses the scientific literature describing expectations for near-term climate
(present through mid-century). Unless otherwise stated," near-term" change and the …

We review the major features of desert dust outbreaks that are relevant to the assessment of
dust impacts upon human health. Our ultimate goal is to provide scientific guidance for the …

Mineral dust aerosols, the tiny soil particles suspended in the atmosphere, have a key role in
the atmospheric radiation budget and hydrological cycle through their radiative and cloud …

Our understanding of the global dust cycle is limited by a dearth of information about dust
sources, especially small‐scale features which could account for a large fraction of global …

There is increasing evidence that the amount of solar radiation incident at the Earth's surface
is not stable over the years but undergoes significant decadal variations. Here I review the …
