Dust aerosol from the Aralkum Desert influences the radiation budget and atmospheric dynamics of Central Asia

<p>The Aralkum is a new desert created by the desiccation of the Aral Sea and is an efficient source of dust aerosol which perturbs the regional Central Asian radiation balance. COSMO–MUSCAT model simulations are used to quantify the direct radiative effects (DREs) of Aralkum dust, and investi...
