Data for "Improved constraints on hematite refractive index for estimating climatic effects of dust aerosols"

This repository contains calculated/simulated data on the imaginary part of the complex refractive index, single scattering albedo, and/or optical depth for dust aerosols in the visible band or at the wavelength of 550 nm.

For detailed information on (1) the acquisition and utilization of this data, (2) comprehensive configurations for model simulations, (3) the principal findings, and (4) the methodology employed to achieve these findings, please refer to the article authored by Li, Mahowald et al. (2024; Commun. Earth Environ).

Other datasets, including the code and laboratory observations presented in the paper, can be found elsewhere (refer to the Data and Code Availability sections of the paper).

For any clarification regarding the data and code, inquiries related to the publication, or potential collaboration, please contact Longlei Li ([e-mail]) or Natalie M. Mahowald ([e-mail]).
