Observation‐based and modeling studies have identified the Eastern Mediterranean and
Middle East (EMME) region as a prominent climate change hotspot. While several initiatives …

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 …

Mineral dust aerosols, the tiny soil particles suspended in the atmosphere, have a key role in
the atmospheric radiation budget and hydrological cycle through their radiative and cloud …

Online coupled mesoscale meteorology atmospheric chemistry models have undergone a
rapid evolution in recent years. Although mainly developed by the air quality modelling …

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 …

Numerical models that combine weather forecasting and atmospheric chemistry are here

One of the greatest sources of uncertainty in simulations of climate and climate change is the
influence of aerosols on the optical properties of clouds. The root of this influence is the …

Ephemeral and dried lakes in southwest and central Asia, such as the Aral Sea and
Hamouns in east Iran, are major sources of dust storms with an increasing tendency during …

Ship** emissions contribute significantly to air pollution at the local and global scales and
will do so even more in the future because global maritime transport volumes are projected …

Aerosol-cloud interaction studies to date consider aerosol with a substantial fraction of
soluble material as the sole source of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN). Emerging evidence …
