    Abstract
    High concentrations of aeolian dust affect the air quality and climate in large regions across Northern Africa, the Middle East, and parts of Asia. To assess the environmental impacts, numerical models have been developed that include mineral dust emissions, atmospheric transport and chemistry, and deposition processes. Since the dust can disperse across continents and oceans, there is a need to model a large geographical area. Here we present a state-of-the-art global atmospheric chemistry–climate model, with detailed representations of these processes. One unique model feature is the chemical interaction of dust with air pollution (chemical aging), which alters the microphysics of particles relevant for their atmospheric lifetime, e.g., the hygroscopic growth behavior, optical properties, and aerosol–cloud interactions, thus influencing the hydrologic cycle and climate. Based on recent developments and published results, we present a comparison of model calculations with satellite and ground-based remote sensing data as well as surface observations of dust concentrations and deposition. The model results are used to evaluate the consequences of aeolian dust for climate and public health.

    The export option will allow you to export the current search results of the entered query to a file. Different formats are available for download. To export the items, click on the button corresponding with the preferred download format.

    By default, clicking on the export buttons will result in a download of the allowed maximum amount of items. For anonymous users the allowed maximum amount is 50 search results.

    To select a subset of the search results, click "Selective Export" button and make a selection of the items you want to export. The amount of items that can be exported at once is similarly restricted as the full export.

    After making a selection, click one of the export format buttons. The amount of items that will be exported is indicated in the bubble next to export format.
