Abstract: The effect of radiative forcing by soil dust aerosols upon climate is calculated. Two atmospheric GCM (AGCM) simulations are compared, one containing a prescribed seasonally varying concentration of dust aerosols, and the ...

Abstract: The effect of soil dust aerosols upon the tropical climate is estimated by forcing a simple model of a tropical direct circulation. The model consists of a region vertically mixed by deep convection and a nonconvecting ...

Abstract: e aircraft and ground-based SALTRACE campaign in the tropical Atlantic in 2013 ? 2014 characterizes the large-scale transport of African dust, dust ?aging? during transit, and its impact on radiation and cloud-microphysics.
