Mineral Dust Aerosols and Climate Variability

题目：矿物粉尘气溶胶和气候变率本提案的主题是矿物粉尘气溶胶作为气候变率的贡献者和标志。将设计数值实验，采用最先进的海洋-大气-粉尘耦合产生模式，以确定控制大气中矿物粉尘变化的过程。重点将放在沙尘与热带大西洋涛动（TAO）、北大西洋涛动（NAO）和ENSO等熟悉的大气变率模式的关系上。这项基础研究将使气候模型更接近现实，并使其成为预测未来气候的更好工具。r

Abstract ATM-9727872 Miller, Ronald Columbia University TITLE: Mineral Dust Aerosols and Climate Variability The theme of this proposal is mineral dust aerosols as a contributor to and signature of climate variability. Numerical experiments will be designed, with the state of the art coupled Ocean-Atmosphere-dust generating models, to identify the processes controlling the variability of mineral dust within the atmosphere. Emphasis will be on the relation of dust to such familiar modes of atmospheric variability such as the Tropical Atlantic Oscillation (TAO), North Atlantic Oscillation NAO), and ENSO. This basic research will take the climate models closer to reality and make them better tools for projections into the future climate. r
