TL;DR: In this paper, a negative trend in dust-storm frequency and duration has been observed since the 1960s, and effects on atmospheric radiation and cloud microphysics appear to be statistically insignificant in the studied period.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated long-range transport of aerosol black carbon (BC) from China to the downwind seas and ocean, where BC concentrations were measured in Beijing city, at rural stations near Beijing city and at a rural station near Shanghai, for information about source strengths.

TL;DR: Aerosol samples were collected on a Pacific cruise from 47°N to 55°S as mentioned in this paper, where particle morphology, concentrations, and size distributions were analyzed with an electron microscope; elemental compositions of individual particles were determined with an X-ray energy spectrometer; and chemical compositions of bulk samples were measured with an ion chromatograph.

TL;DR: A research flight with the NOAA WP-3D aircraft revealed evidence for stratospheric-tropospheric exchange within the Arctic through tropopause folding on the flank of the polar vortex.

TL;DR: Aerosol particles collected over the Pacific Ocean between 7°N and 5°S latitude and 110° to 142°W longitude during the period from 23 May to 19 June 1985 were examined for their ability to nucleate ice by sorption, freezing, and condensation-followed-by-freezing as mentioned in this paper.
