Abstract
⺠Shortwave direct radiative forcing by dust aerosols is successfully modelled. ⺠Radiative forcing shown to be sensitive to boundary-layer and land surface schemes. ⺠Mineral dust cools and warms the lower and upper boundary layer, respectively. ⺠Suspended dust modifies boundary-layer profiles, stabilizing the lower atmosphere. ⺠Aerosols cause near-surface reduction of wind speed with increase aloft.
