Research Topics
· Desert dust and biogeochemical feedbacks
· Transport and transport modeling
Datasets available (please email Mahowald@ucar.edu, web pages not yet
ready).
Dust deposition
Current climate:
· Dust deposition datasets for current climate (1979-2004 daily averaged, monthly averaged or climatology available from Luo et al., 2003; Mahowald et al., 2003).
· Composite of Ginoux et al., 2004, Tegen et al., 2004 and Luo et al., 2003 as a monthly average available (described in Mahowald et al., in press, atmospheric iron review paper).
Different climate regimes
· LGM vs. Current (Mahowald et al., 1999)
· Current, pre-industrial and 2100, using 6 different scenarios (Mahowald and Luo, 2003)
· LGM, preindustrial, current and doubled CO2 climates (Mahowald et al., submitted)
