We describe the baseline model configuration and simulation characteristics of the
Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL)'s Land Model version 4.1 (LM4. 1), which …

Ice-nucleating particles (INPs) can initiate cloud ice formation, influencing cloud radiative
effects (CRE) and climate. However, the knowledge of INP sources, concentrations, and …

Large dust storms in the Saharan desert and the subsequent transport of airborne dust over
large distances are a major meteorological hazard. Several mechanisms associated to dust …

Windblown dust impacts human health, air quality, and climate. The National Weather
