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 …

The dust cycle facilitates the exchange of particles among Earth's major systems, enabling
dust to traverse ecosystems, cross geographic boundaries, and even move uphill against …

A radiative transfer interface has been developed to simulate the UV aerosol index (AI) from
the NASA Goddard Earth Observing System version 5 (GEOS-5) aerosol assimilated fields …

We present a 3-D climatology of the desert dust distribution over South and East Asia
derived using CALIPSO (Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation) …

A multitude of sensitivity studies in the literature point to the importance of proper chemical
and morphological characterization of particles when the radiative impacts of airborne dusts …

Based on the first year of CALIPSO lidar measurements under cloud‐free conditions, a
height‐resolved global distribution of dust aerosols is presented for the first time. Results …

We present a comprehensive examination of aerosol absorption with a focus on evaluating
the sensitivity of the global distribution of aerosol absorption to key uncertainties in the …

An extensive dust storm originating on 17 August 2006 in North Africa was observed and
tracked by the Cloud‐Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations …

Airborne particles of mineral dust play a key role in Earth's climate system and affect human
activities around the globe. The numerical weather modeling community has undertaken …

Triple-wavelength polarization lidar measurements in Saharan dust layers were performed
at Barbados (13.1° N, 59.6° W), 5000–8000 km west of the Saharan dust sources, in the …
