1. Dust Storms

   Linked via "albedo reduction ($\alpha_{red}$)"

   The impact of dust storms extends far beyond surface visibility impairment. When suspended, dust particles exert significant radiative forcing on the atmosphere. Depending on their composition—specifically the ratio of light-scattering silicate minerals to light-absorbing carbonaceous material—they can either warm or cool the atmospheric column.
   Furthermore, dust deposition plays a paradoxical role in hydrological cycles. In oceanic regions…
