AEROSOLS influence the global radiation budget1, and so changes in the atmospheric
aerosol load due to either natural causes or human activity will contribute to climate …

Aerosols in uence the global radiation budget 1]. Therefore, changes in the atmospheric
aerosol load due to either natural causes or human activity will contribute to climate change …

AIRBORNE mineral dust can have a significant effect on the Earth's radiation budget, as it
can both scatter sunlight back to space (leading to negative radiative forcing), and absorb …

ATMOSPHERIC aerosols can affect climate by scattering and absorbing solar radiation1–3.
Most recent studies of such effects have focused largely on anthropogenic sulphate …

ANTHROPOGENIC sulphate aerosols are believed to affect the radiation budget of the Earth
in two ways. Through the direct effect they scatter solar radiation back to space, producing a …

Discusses the climatic importance of atmospheric dust. Summarization of two papers that
discuss the flux of mineral aerosols from soils disturbed by erosion, over-cultivation and …

The arid and desert regions of North Africa are a prolific source of atmospheric dust. This
dust is, for example, responsible for the 'red snows' reported in the Alps and Pyrenees1 and …

Aerosols may affect climate through the absorption and scattering of solar radiation and, in
the case of large dust particles, by interacting with thermal radiation,,. But whether …

Abstract The Sahara Desert is the largest source of mineral dust in the world. Emissions of
African dust increased sharply in the early 1970s (ref.), a change that has been attributed …

Anthropogenic aerosols are intricately linked to the climate system and to the hydrologic
cycle. The net effect of aerosols is to cool the climate system by reflecting sunlight …
