Mineral dust and pollution aerosol can transport on hemispherical and global scale. They exert far-reaching effects on the Earth system via a variety of pathways, including (a) degrading air quality and adversely affecting human health, (b) perturbing the Earth's energy balance through directly interacting with radiation and indirectly modifying cloud properties, and (c) influencing marine and terrestrial ecosystems through depositing co-transported nutrients and microbes. Our research focuses on how to integrate a variety of satellite measurements to obtain observation-based estimates of aerosol transport and deposition and to assess the roles of the long-range transported aerosol in the Earth system. The study also involves the use of model simulations and field campaign data to complement the satellite observations.
