• Direct radiative effect of aerosols as determined from a combination of MODIS retrievals and GOCART simulations (2004, background): “[13] The high bias of tabs for large particles suggests that the absorptivity of dust is overestimated in the model, as confirmed by mounting evidence mainly from recent observations of Sahara dusts [e.g., Clarke and Charlson, 1985; Kaufman et al., 2001; Dubovik et al., 2002; Cattrall et al., 2003].”
• Monthly Averages of Aerosol Properties: A Global Comparison Among Models, Satellite Data, and AERONET Ground Data (2003, background): “Weaker dust absorption at solar wavelengths reduces the warming of the aerosol layers and increases solar energy losses to space [Kaufman et al., 2001], resulting in a more negative ToA forcing.”
• Feedback upon dust emission by dust radiative forcing through the planetary boundary layer (2004, background): “[13] Recent in situ measurements of absorption by dust particles at solar wavelengths suggest that our adopted indices of refraction are excessively absorbing [Kaufman et al., 2001; Dubovik et al., 2002; Sinyuk et al., 2003].”
• Reevaluation of Mineral aerosol radiative forcings suggests a better agreement with satellite and AERONET data (2006, background): “The first investigation that drew into question the absorption of dust in modelling papers is the work of Kaufman et al. (2001).”

• Using the OMI aerosol index and absorption aerosol optical depth to evaluate the NASA MERRA Aerosol Reanalysis (2014, background): “In contrast, absorption estimates inferred from space-based remote sensing suggest dust is much less absorbing in the shortwave (Kaufman et al., 2001; Moulin et al., 2001; Colarco et al., 2002; Balkanski et al., 2007).”

• Combined use of satellite and surface observations to infer the imaginary part of refractive index of Saharan dust (2002, background): “Recent remote sensing observations [Kaufman et al., 2001; Dubovik et al., 2002] conclude that mineral dust is much less absorbing in the visible part of spectrum than previously assumed.”
• Importance of shapes and compositions of wind‐blown dust particles for remote sensing at solar wavelengths (2002, background): “[14] It has been suggested that collocated satellite and groundbased observations can be used to retrieve the single scattering albedo from satellite observations by utilizing the aerosol optical depth provided by sunphotometers (or lidars) [Kaufman et al., 2001].”
• Comparison of aerosol size distributions, radiative properties, and optical depths determined by aircraft observations and Sun photometers during SAFARI 2000 (2003, methodology): “, 1998], and radiances [Fraser and Kaufman, 1985] and has recently been used to deduce wo for dust aerosol [Kaufman et al., 2001].”

• Single-Scattering Albedo and Radiative Forcing of Various Aerosol Species with a Global Three-Dimensional Model (2002, unknown): “Recently, Kaufman et al. (2001) indicated from the satellite remote sensing that Saharan dust absorption of solar radiation is several times smaller than the current international standards, for example, WCP-55 (1983), which is used in the present model.”
