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 …

Improved parameterization for the size distribution of emitted dust aerosols reduces model underestimation of super coarse dust
Aircraft measurement campaigns have revealed that super coarse dust (diameter> 10 μm)
surprisingly accounts for approximately a quarter of aerosols by mass in the atmosphere …
