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 …

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

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 …

Abstract The Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Applications, version 2
(MERRA-2), updates NASA's previous satellite-era (1980 onward) reanalysis system to …

Abstract The Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Applications, version 2
(MERRA-2), is NASA's latest reanalysis for the satellite era (1980 onward) using the …

We quantify the reductions in primary emissions due to the COVID-19 lockdowns in Europe.
Our estimates are provided in the form of a dataset of reduction factors varying per country …

Even though desert dust is the most abundant aerosol by mass in Earth's atmosphere,
atmospheric models struggle to accurately represent its spatial and temporal distribution …

The large uncertainty in the mineral dust direct radiative effect (DRE) hinders projections of
future climate change due to anthropogenic activity. Resolving modeled dust mineral …

Monitoring and describing the spatiotemporal variability in dust aerosols is crucial for
understanding their multiple effects, related feedbacks, and impacts within the Earth system …

The BSC-DREAM8b model and its predecessor are analysed in terms of aerosol optical
depth (AOD) for 2004 over Northern Africa, the Mediterranean and the Middle East. We …
