Using the OMI aerosol index and absorption aerosol optical depth to evaluate the NASA MERRA Aerosol Reanalysis (2014, methodology): “Particle non-sphericity is presently included for the optical properties of dust aerosols only, using a spheroidal shape distribution after Dubovik et al. (2006) and the optical properties database from Meng et al. (2010).”
Impact of radiatively interactive dust aerosols in the NASA GEOS‐5 climate model: Sensitivity to dust particle shape and refractive index (2014, methodology): “Recently, however, improved databases of optical properties for nonspherical dust-like aerosols [e.g., Meng et al., 2010] have been employed in radiative transfer calculations, suggesting uncertainties in top of atmosphere (TOA) fluxes of as much as 30% due to dust shape effects [Yi et al., 2011].”
The MERRA-2 Aerosol Reanalysis, 1980 - onward, Part I: System Description and Data Assimilation Evaluation. (2017, methodology): “1998) with updated dust optical properties that incorporate nonsphericity (Meng et al. 2010; Colarco et al. 2014).”
