A global comparison of GEOS-Chem predicted and remotely-sensed mineral dust aerosol optical depth

A global comparison of GEOS-Chem predicted and remotely-sensed mineral dust aerosol optical depth

Dust aerosol optical depth (AOD) and vertical distribution of aerosol extinction predicted by a global chemical transport model (GEOS-Chem) are compared to space-borne data from the Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), Multi-Angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR), and Cloud-Aerosol...
