Two publications led by Jasper Kok has been published in the journal ACP. These studies aim to improve our understanding of the global dust cycle and to quantify the current state of modelling of dust in the Earth System (or more exactly the modelling of dust in combination with observations). The first publication details the methodology used to combine the observations and models to improve our description of mineral dust Kok et al. (2021), the second publication explains the application of the methodology to describe the main source of contributions of mineral dust over different regions of the Earth surface Kok et al. (2021). As part of these publications there are open datasets.
Further information is in the webpage of the project DUSTCOMM where the readers can find the several publications under his project, as well as, several of the datasets created.
