Mineral dust aerosols impact the energy budget of Earth through interactions with radiation,
clouds, atmospheric chemistry, the cryosphere and biogeochemistry. In this Review, we …

Primary biological aerosol particles (PBAP) play an important role in the climate system,
facilitating the formation of ice within clouds, consequently PBAP may be important in …

Dust aerosols have been generally regarded as efficient ice nuclei (IN), but their influences
on mixed-phase clouds and precipitation are poorly quantified. In this study, combining …

The Arctic region is sensitive to climate change and is warming faster than the global
average. Aerosol particles change cloud properties by acting as cloud condensation nuclei …

Investigating the vertical distribution of mineral dust masses and their microphysical
properties is crucial for accurately assessing the climate effects of dust. However, there are …

Numerical weather prediction models are very important tools in predicting severe weather
phenomena such as dust storms. However, the prediction accuracy in these models …

Dust transport and spatial distribution are poorly represented in current global climate
models (GCMs) including the Community Atmosphere Model version 5 (CAM5). Particularly …

Recent observations show that dust emitted within the Arctic (Arctic dust) has a remarkably
high ice nucleating ability, especially between− 20° C and− 5° C, but its impacts on the …

Arctic aerosols play a significant role in aerosol-radiation and aerosol-cloud interactions, but
ground-based measurements are insufficient to explain the interaction of aerosols and …

A discrepancy of up to 5 orders of magnitude between ice crystal and ice nucleating particle
(INP) number concentrations was found in the measurements, indicating the potentially …
