Soil Moisture Modulations of Dust Emissions Introduce Non‐Negligible Impacts on the Dust Direct Radiative Effect Across the Contiguous U.S.

Abstract Soil moisture increases the cohesive forces of soil particles, making it more difficult to lift the particles by the wind. As a result, the soil moisture modulates the airborne dust abundance, which in turn modulates the Earth's radiative balance. The importance of these soil moisture...
