Abstract
AbstractIn the late twentieth century, global mean surface air temperature especially on land is continuously warming. Our analyses show that the global mean of dust increased since 1980, using the Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis version 2 for Research and Applications (MERRA-2) reanalysis data. This variation of global dust is mainly contributed by the dust increase outside of dust core areas (i.e. high dust mass concentration region). The causes to result in global dust variations are explored. In dust core areas, surface wind is the primary driving factor for surface dust, both of which show no remarkable trends of increase or decrease since 1980. In areas outside of the core areas, especially in arid and semi-arid areas in North and Middle Asia, surface air temperature warming is the primary impact factor causing the dust increase. An increase in surface air temperature is accompanied by enhancement of atmospheric instability which can trigger more upward motion and bring more dust. All 9 Earth System Models (ESMs) for the Aerosol Chemistry Model Intercomparison Project (AerChemMIP) reproduce the reasonable spatial distribution and seasonal cycle of dust in the present day. But only a few models such as BCC-ESM1 and GFDL-ESM4 simulate the increasing trend of dust similar to MERRA-2. While the primary impact of wind in dust core areas, and surface temperature outside of the core areas, especially in middle to high latitudes in Eurasian continent, are presented in most ESMs.
