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 …

Located in the dust belt, the Arabian Peninsula is a major source of atmospheric dust.
Frequent dust outbreaks and some 15 to 20 dust storms per year have profound effects on …

This study investigates the underlying atmospheric dynamics associated with intense dust
storms in summer 2018 over the Arabian Peninsula (AP); a major dust source at global …

Sand and dust storms (SDS) are a major disruptor in both the source areas where they occur
and at distant locations. This critical review aims to address the question of whether …

New in-situ aircraft measurements of Saharan dust originating from Mali, Mauritania and
Algeria taken during the Fennec 2011 aircraft campaign over a remote part of the Sahara …

The present work examines the seasonality, dust-plume altitudinal variation and affected
areas for dust storms originated from the Sistan region, southeastern Iran during the summer …

This study presents in situ aircraft measurements of Saharan mineral dust transported over
the western Mediterranean basin in June–July 2013 during the ChArMEx/ADRIMED (the …

We have studied the relationship between the long-term interannual variability in large-scale
meteorology in western North Africa–the largest and most active dust source worldwide–and …

We describe observations from the Fennec supersite at Bordj Badji Mokhtar (BBM) made
during the June 2011 Fennec Intensive Observation Period. These are the first detailed in …

Saharan dust affects the climate by altering the radiation balance and by depositing
minerals to the Atlantic Ocean. Both are dependent on particle size. We present aircraft …
