TL;DR: Aerosol particle samples collected from Asia and the North Pacific were analyzed to investigate the relationships among atmospheric sea salt, mineral aerosol, biogenic emissions (methanesulfonate (MSA)), and several anthropogenic substances (sulfate, nitrate, and various trace elements).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report measurements of the light-scattering properties of North African dust delivered to Barbados by the North Atlantic trade winds and conclude that African mineral dust should be the dominant lightscattering aerosol throughout the tropical and subtropical North Atlantic region.

TL;DR: In this article, a three-dimensional model is used to simulate the global tropospheric distributions of dimethylsulfide (DMS), SO2, SO42−, and methanesulfonic acid (MSA).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the size distributions of airborne mineral dust over the Canary Islands during July 1995 and Puerto Rico during July 2000 and found that larger particles were preferentially removed during atmospheric transport.

TL;DR: In this article, the size distributions of dust particles from Africa were measured using a variety of aerodynamic, optical, and geometric means, and compared with the literature, comparisons of these size distributions showed quite dissimilar results.
