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 …

Mineral dust aerosols impact the energy budget of Earth through interactions with radiation,
clouds, atmospheric chemistry, the cryosphere and biogeochemistry. In this Review, we …

Even though desert dust is the most abundant aerosol by mass in Earth's atmosphere, the
relative contributions of the world's major source regions to the global dust cycle remain …

The topic of soiling of photovoltaic module (PV) and concentrated solar power (CSP)
collectors has recently gained increasing attention due to its impact on solar power …

Atmospheric ice‐nucleating particles (INPs) play a critical role in cloud freezing processes,
with important implications for precipitation formation and cloud radiative properties, and …

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 …

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 …

The optical properties of airborne mineral dust depend on its mineralogy, size distribution,
and shape, and they might vary between different source regions. To date, large differences …

Mineral dust plays a pivotal role in the Earth's system. Dust modulates the global energy
budget directly via its interactions with radiation and indirectly via its influence on cloud and …

The Indian summer monsoon (ISM) is one of the world's strongest monsoon systems that
brings about eighty percent of the annual rainfall to the Indian subcontinent and impacts the …
