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 …

Mineral dust aerosols impact the energy budget of Earth through interactions with radiation,
clouds, atmospheric chemistry, the cryosphere and biogeochemistry. In this Review, we …

This paper describes the GISS‐E2. 1 contribution to the Coupled Model Intercomparison
Project, Phase 6 (CMIP6). This model version differs from the predecessor model (GISS‐E2) …

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 …

Desert dust aerosols affect Earth's global energy balance through direct interactions with
radiation, and through indirect interactions with clouds and ecosystems. But the magnitudes …

Mineral dust impacts key processes in the Earth system, including the radiation budget,
clouds, and nutrient cycles. We evaluate dust aerosols in 16 models participating in the sixth …

Airborne mineral dust particles can act as natural seeds for cirrus clouds in the upper
troposphere. However, the atmospheric abundance of dust is unconstrained in cirrus …

We present a description of the ModelE2 version of the Goddard Institute for Space Studies
(GISS) General Circulation Model (GCM) and the configurations used in the simulations …

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 …

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 …
