Journal ArticleDOI
Change in atmospheric mineral aerosols in response to climate: Last glacial period, preindustrial, modern, and doubled carbon dioxide climates
Natalie M. Mahowald,Daniel R. Muhs,Samuel Levis,Philip J. Rasch,Masaru Yoshioka,Masaru Yoshioka,Charles S. Zender,Chao Luo +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the response of the dust cycle to last glacial maximum, preindustrial, modern, and doubled-carbon dioxide climates is analyzed using the National Center for Atmospheric Research's Community Climate System Model for the current climate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of Desert Dust Radiative Forcing on Sahel Precipitation: Relative Importance of Dust Compared to Sea Surface Temperature Variations, Vegetation Changes, and Greenhouse Gas Warming
Masaru Yoshioka,Natalie M. Mahowald,Andrew Conley,William D. Collins,D. Fillmore,Charles S. Zender,Dani B Coleman +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the role of direct radiative forcing of desert dust aerosol in the change from wet to dry climate observed in the African Sahel region in the last half of the twentieth century is investigated using simulations with an atmospheric general circulation model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Climate response and radiative forcing from mineral aerosols during the last glacial maximum pre-industrial, current and doubled-carbon dioxide climates
Natalie M. Mahowald,Natalie M. Mahowald,Masaru Yoshioka,Masaru Yoshioka,William D. Collins,Andrew Conley,D. Fillmore,Danielle B. Coleman +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of natural aerosol sources on climate through radiative forcing by natural dust sources is examined in the current, last glacial maximum, pre-industrial and doubled carbon dioxide climate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simulation of absorbing aerosol indices for African dust
TL;DR: In this article, the role of surface disturbances on dust generation is not well constrained because of limitations in the available data and models and the authors address this issue by simulating the Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) Absorbing Aerosol Indices (AAI) for model-predicted dust and comparing them with the observations.
