Effects of the physical state of tropospheric ammonium-sulfate-nitrate particles on global aerosol direct radiative forcing (2003, unknown): “More detailed descriptions of aerosol direct radiative forcing include soot, organic molecules, dust, and sea salt (Tegen et al., 1996; Haywood et al., 1997; Haywood and Shine, 1997; Tegen et al., 1997; Haywood and Ramaswamy, 1998; Jacobson, 2001b; Sokolik et al., 2001; Chin et al., 2002; Menon et a”
Development of global aerosol models using cluster analysis of Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) measurements (2005, result): “As has been noted by others [e.g., Sokolik et al., 2001 ], the characterization of dust aerosols will require a concerted effort involving in situ and ground based measurements, and satellite remote sensing at targeted regions.”
Measurement and modeling of the Saharan dust radiative impact: Overview of the Saharan Dust Experiment (SHADE) (2003, background): “[3] There is clearly a need for better measuring the dust physical and optical properties within the solar and the terrestrial spectrum [Karyampudi et al., 1999; Sokolik et al., 2001].”
On the effect of dust particles on global cloud condensation nuclei and cloud droplet number (2011, background): “Differences in parent soils, and emission and transport processes cause substantial changes in size distribution, composition, and morphology of dust particles [Jeong and Sokolik, 2007; Sokolik et al., 2001].”
Airborne measurements of dust layer properties, particle size distribution and mixing state of Saharan dust during SAMUM 2006 (2009, background): “Sokolik et al. (2001) point out that the major unknowns concerning dust aerosols are: the size distribution of the particles that span a range from 0.01 to about 100 μm, the vertical and spatial variability within the dust plumes and optical properties like complex refractive index, absorption…”
Single-scattering properties of tri-axial ellipsoidal mineral dust aerosols: A database for application to radiative transfer calculations (2010, background): “…climate system through their direct and indirect effects on the energy budget and hydrological cycle of the Earth–atmosphere system (Chylek & Coakley, 1974; Chuang et al., 2003; Forster et al., 2007; Ramanathan, Crutzen, Kiehl, & Rosenfeld (2001); Sokolik et al., 2001; Shell & Somerville, 2007).”
A comprehensive numerical model of steady state saltation (COMSALT) (2009, background): “Soil dust emitted by these features substantially affects climate [ Sokolik et al., 2001 ] and provides limiting nutrients to a range of ecosystems [Jickells et al., 2005].”
Ability of multiangle remote sensing observations to identify and distinguish mineral dust types : Optical models and retrievals of optically thick plumes : Quantifying the radiative and biogeochemical impacts of mineral dust (2005, background): “…particles pose tremendous challenges to the radiative transfer models used in satellite retrieval algorithms because, unlike other aerosol types, airborne mineral dust particles exist as a mixtures of particles having radically different morphological and optical properties [Sokolik et al., 2001].”
SALSA – a Sectional Aerosol module for Large Scale Applications (2007, background): “, 2005) and alters their light scattering and absorption properties (e.g. Jacobson, 2000; Sokolik et al., 2001; Schnaiter et al., 2005).”
Characterization of iron oxides in mineral dust aerosols: Implications for light absorption (2006, background): “An understanding of how much dust particles can absorb is central to many problems of atmospheric sciences ranging from photochemistry and photosynthesis to climate change [Sokolik et al., 2001].”
