Glacial/interglacial changes in mineral dust and sea-salt records in polar ice cores: sources, transport, and deposition [PDF]
Reviews of Geophysics, 2007 Sea salt and mineral dust records as represented by Na+ and Ca2+ concentrations, respectively, in Greenland and Antarctic ice cores show pronounced glacial/interglacial variations. For the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) mineral dust (sea salt) concentrations

The effect of (NH4)2SO4 on the freezing properties of non-mineral dust ice-nucleating substances of atmospheric relevance [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2021 A wide range of materials including mineral dust, soil dust, and bioaerosols have been shown to act as ice nuclei in the atmosphere. During atmospheric transport, these materials can become coated with inorganic and organic solutes which may impact their

Quantifying the range of the dust direct radiative effect due to source mineralogy uncertainty [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2021 The large uncertainty in the mineral dust direct radiative effect (DRE) hinders projections of future climate change due to anthropogenic activity. Resolving modeled dust mineral speciation allows for spatially and temporally varying refractive indices ...

Fully Dynamic High–Resolution Model for Dispersion of Icelandic Airborne Mineral Dust
Atmosphere, 2022 Icelandic topsoil sediments, as confirmed by numerous scientific studies, represent the largest and the most important European source of mineral dust. Strong winds, connected with the intensive cyclonic circulation in the North Atlantic, induce intense ...
