Mineral dust particles suspended in the atmosphere span more than three orders of
magnitude in diameter, from< 0.1 µm to more than 100 µm. This wide size range makes dust …

The electrification of volcanic plumes has been described intermittently since at least the
time of Pliny the Younger and the 79 AD eruption of Vesuvius. Although sometimes …

Giant mineral dust particles (> 75 μm in diameter) found far from their source have long
puzzled scientists. These wind-blown particles affect the atmosphere's radiation balance …

While the electrification of dust storms is known to substantially affect the lifting and transport
of dust particles, the electrical structure of dust storms and its underlying charge separation …

We report the aeolian changes observed in situ by NASA's InSight lander during the first 400
sols of operations: Granule creep, saltation, dust removal, and the formation of dark surface …

The burst of Mars exploration in the past two decades has significantly improved our
knowledge of the Martian atmosphere. A variety of complementary, multiannual …

We report experimental evidences to support a new formation mechanism, multiphase redox
plasma chemistry, for perchlorate on Mars observed during the Phoenix mission, whose …

In recent years, observations of the atmospheric surface layer have greatly promoted
research on high-Reynolds-number wall-bounded turbulence, especially observations of …

Abstract Thus far, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations fail to predict the
electrostatic charging of particle–gas flows reliably. The lack of a predictive tool leads to …

Large amounts of dust are lofted into the atmosphere from arid regions of the world before
being transported up to thousands of kilometers. This atmospheric dust interacts with solar …
