Dust storms originate in many of the world's drylands and frequently present hazards to
human society, both within the drylands themselves but also outside drylands due to long …

libRadtran is a widely used software package for radiative transfer calculations. It allows one
to compute (polarized) radiances, irradiance, and actinic fluxes in the solar and thermal …

Mineral dust is an important component of the climate system, interacting with radiation,
clouds, and biogeochemical systems and impacting atmospheric circulation, air quality …

During four aircraft field experiments with the DLR research aircraft Falcon in 1998 (LACE),
2006 (SAMUM-1) and 2008 (SAMUM-2 and EUCAARI), airborne High Spectral Resolution …

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 ingestion of volcanic ash by jet engines is widely recognized as a potentially fatal
hazard for aircraft operation. The high temperatures (1,200–2,000° C) typical of jet engines …

The Snow, Ice, and Aerosol Radiative (SNICAR) model has been used in various capacities
over the last 15 years to model the spectral albedo of snow with light-absorbing constituents …

Quantifying the dust optical depth (DOD) and its uncertainty across spatiotemporal scales is
key to understanding and constraining the dust cycle and its interactions with the Earth …

Dust particles larger than 20 µ m in diameter have been regularly observed to remain
airborne during long-range transport. In this work, we modify the parameterization of the …
