The accumulation of dust on photovoltaic (PV) devices has an adverse impact by degrading
their performance. In this work, a review of the effects of dust accumulation on PV module …

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 …

The West African Sahel is well known for the severe droughts that ravaged the region in the
1970s and 1980s. Meteorological research on the region has flourished during the last …

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 …

In spite of considerable progresses in recent years, a quantitative and predictive
understanding of atmospheric aerosol sources, chemical composition, transformation …

Dust storms, produced by the removal of surface materials from the world's drylands, are a
vital component of the environment. This is because of their role in biogeochemical cycling …

The need for a better understanding of the role of atmospheric dust in the climate system
and its impact on the environment has led to research of the underlying causes of dust …

Atmospheric mineral dust has recently become an important research field in Earth system
science because of its impacts on radiation, clouds, atmospheric dynamics and chemistry …

Aeolian processes affect the biosphere in a wide variety of contexts, including landform
evolution, biogeochemical cycles, regional climate, human health, and desertification …

Dust storms have a number of impacts upon the environment including radiative forcing, and
biogeochemical cycling. They transport material over many thousands of kilometres. They …
