In arid and semi-arid area of Asia, dust storms occur frequently. Asian dust storms have a
major impact on the air quality of the densely populated areas of China, Korea and Japan …

Continental dust transported through the atmosphere can be a tracer of atmospheric
circulation and transport, as well as being a source of information about climate in the dust's …

In this study, 121 daily PM 2.5 (aerosol particle with aerodynamic diameter less than 2.5 μm)
samples were collected from an urban site in Beijing in four months between April 2009 and …

Dust storms, produced by the removal of surface materials from the world's drylands, are a
vital component of the environment. This is because of their role in biogeochemical cycling …

[2] Soil dust aerosol plays an important role in the climate system [Intergovernmental Panel
on Climate Change, 2007]. Dust impacts the atmospheric radiation budget indirectly by …

Soil erosion controlled by the wind effect on the surface, has been largely studied by field in-
situ measurements as well as laboratory or numerical simulations. Nevertheless, more in …

The present study investigates the mineral dust emissions and the occurrence of dust
emission events over the Sahara desert from 1996 to 2001. Mineral dust emissions are …

There is a large uncertainty in the relative roles of human land use, climate change and
carbon dioxide fertilization in changing desert dust source strength over the past 100 years …

We describe Global Atmosphere 4.0 (GA4. 0) and Global Land 4.0 (GL4. 0): configurations
of the Met Office Unified Model and JULES (Joint UK Land Environment Simulator) …

During glacial periods of the Late Quaternary, mineral dust emissions from Earth's dominant
source areas were a factor of 2–4 higher than interglacial levels. The causes of these …
