Mineral dust

Iron dissolution in urban aerosols follows divergent pathways controlled by sulfuric and nitric acids, shifting from nitric acid dominance at ground-level to sulfuric acid in the upper atmosphere.

Analyze seasonal aerosol variations at coastal boundaries using global AERONET data. Machine learning identifies four distinct aerosol regimes with pronounced seasonal patterns and spectral.

Study quantifies how free-tropospheric Saharan dust over the North Atlantic modulates low-level cloud cover via longwave-induced cloud-top warming that counteracts shortwave-driven cloud enhancement.
