| Description: |
The ICTP regional climate model (RegCM3) coupled with a desert dust aerosol model is used to simulate the net radiative forcing (short-wave and long-wave) and related climate effects of dust aerosols over East Asia. Research found the net surface radiative fluxes are decreased by dust and this causes a surface cooling locally by as much as 1degree celsius. [Source: Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics]
