    Article
    Open Access
    Soil dust aerosols are a key component of the climate system, as they interact with short- and long-wave radiation, alter cloud formation processes, affect atmospheric chemistry and play a role in biogeochemical cycles by ...

  • Balancing EC-Earth3 improving the performance of EC-Earth CMIP6 configurations by minimizing the coupling cost 

    Acosta Cobos, Mario César; Palomas Martínez, Sergi; Tourigny, Etienne (John Wiley & sons, 2023-08)
