Abstract

The latest range of CMIP6 model dust simulations shows a greater diversity than previous generations of models in terms of dust emission, deposition, burden and dust optical depth (DOD) (Zhao et al., 2022). Validation of dust models is crucial for understanding the impact of dust on climate and clim...
