Description:Understanding the spatial and temporal variability in fine mineral dust (FD, mineral aerosols with diameters less than 2.5 μm) and coarse aerosol mass (CM, mass of aerosols with diameters between 2.5 and 10μm) is important for accurately characterizing and perhaps mitigating their environmental and climate impacts. The spatial and seasonal variability of ambient FD and CM was characterized at rural and remote sites across the United States for 2011 –2014 using concentration and elemental chemistry data from the Interagency Monitoring of Protected Visual Environments (IMPROVE) aerosol monitoring network. FD concentrations were highest (and had ≥50% contributions to PM 2.5mass) in the southwestern United States
