Dust composition dataset compiled from literature

This dataset is compiled of available measured dust composition data collected from literature with detailed data selection and processing for the JGR paper "A Global-scale Mineral Dust Equation" by Liu et al (2022). It includes 7 worksheets providing the measured elemental composition data used to calculate elemental ratios, measured mineralogical composition data used to estimate the contribution of other types of carbonates apart from calcite and to examine the size effect on elemental ratios and carbonate content.
