Less atmospheric radiative heating by dust due to the synergy of coarser size and aspherical shape

<p>Mineral dust aerosols cool and warm the atmosphere by scattering and absorbing solar (shortwave: SW) and thermal (longwave: LW) radiation. However, significant uncertainties remain in dust radiative effects, largely due to differences in the dust size distribution and spectral optical prope...
