Better representation of dust can improve climate models with too weak an African monsoon

<p>The amount of short wave radiation absorbed by dust has remained uncertain. We have developed a more accurate representation of dust absorption that is based on the observed dust mineralogical composition and accounts for very large particles. We analyze the results from two fully coupled c...
