Dust vertical profile impact on global radiative forcing estimation using a coupled chemical-transport–radiative-transfer model

Atmospheric mineral dust particles exert significant direct radiative forcings and are important drivers of climate and climate change. We used the GEOS-Chem global three-dimensional chemical transport model (CTM) coupled with the Fu-Liou-Gu (FLG) radiative transfer model (RTM) to investigate the du...
