The physics of wind-blown sand and dust
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 …

Interactions of water with mineral dust aerosol: water adsorption, hygroscopicity, cloud condensation, and ice nucleation
Mineral dust aerosol is one of the major types of aerosol present in the troposphere. The
molecular level interactions of water vapor with mineral dust are of global significance …

Smaller desert dust cooling effect estimated from analysis of dust size and abundance
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 …

[HTML][HTML] The size distribution of desert dust aerosols and its impact on the Earth system
The global cycle of desert dust aerosols responds strongly to climate and human
perturbations, and, in turn, impacts climate and biogeochemistry. Here we focus on desert …

A review of coarse mineral dust in the Earth system
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 …

Palaeoclimatic records of the loess/palaeosol sequences of the Chinese Loess Plateau
BA Maher - Quaternary Science Reviews, 2016 - Elsevier
Whether during past climate stages or into a progressively warming world, changes in
precipitation constitute a key component of climatic change. Quantitative proxies for palaeo …
