Observed 20th century desert dust variability: impact on climate and biogeochemistry
<p><span class="pb_abstract">Desert dust perturbs climate by directly and indirectly interacting with incoming solar and outgoing long wave radiation, thereby changing precipitation and temperature, in addition to modifying ocean and land biogeochemistry.

Precipitation-generated oscillations in open cellular cloud fields
Cloud simulation is one of the most challenging tasks in regional to global-scale modelling. In many cases, the physical mechanisms responsible for observed cloud dynamics are unknown, making it difficult to realistically simulate their structure and behaviour.
