Numerical Simulations of Asian Dust-Aerosols and Regional Impact on Weather and Climate- Part I: Control Case-PRCM Simulation without Dust-Aerosols
Aerosol particles affect atmospheric radiation and cloud microphysics, and are considered a major uncertainty in climate forcing. At the same time, accurate simulation and prediction of meteorological conditions are necessary to simulate the distribution and chemical reaction of the aerosols. Distribution of pollutions can also be used to validate meteorological models. This paper consists of t...
متن کاملA scaling theory for the size distribution of emitted dust aerosols suggests climate models underestimate the size of the global dust cycle.
Mineral dust aerosols impact Earth's radiation budget through interactions with clouds, ecosystems, and radiation, which constitutes a substantial uncertainty in understanding past and predicting future climate changes. One of the causes of this large uncertainty is that the size distribution of emitted dust aerosols is poorly understood. The present study shows that regional and global circula...
متن کاملObserved 20th century desert dust variability: impact on climate and biogeochemistry
Desert dust perturbs climate by directly and indirectly interacting with incoming solar and outgoing long wave radiation, thereby changing precipitation and temperature, in addition to modifying ocean and land biogeochemistry. While we know that desert dust is sensitive to perturbations in climate and human land use, previous studies have been unable to determine whether humans were increasing ...

Extended Abstract Introduction: Dust storm is a major weather event that plays an important role in the Earth’s atmosphere and ocean surfaces. Dust storms affect marine phytoplankton, soil physical and chemical characteristics in entrainment and deposition areas, climate and radiative forcing, economic loss, and human health. They mostly originate from Introduction: Dust storm is a major weath...
متن کاملSaharan dust storms and indirect aerosol effects on clouds: CRYSTAL-FACE results
[1] A recent field experiment in southern Florida using aircraft and polarization lidar shows that mineral dust particles transported from Saharan Africa are effective ice nuclei, apparently capable of glaciating a mildly supercooled ( 5.2 to 8.8 C) altocumulus cloud. These results are similar to those from Asian dust storm particles observed over the western US, suggesting that in the northern...
