Dust from dry regions play important roles in Earth's climate and can affect things like farming and air quality. This study used satellite data from MODIS (which captures light in different colors) to create a new map showing where different types of dusty land, like sand dunes and dry sediments, are located. This map was added to the UFS climate model. The model’s predictions of dust in the air were compared to real-world measurements and to results from two other maps. The study looks at differences in dust amounts and where the dust is coming from over the course of a year, and discusses patterns, errors, and challenges in using this new map for the first time.
