Every spring, a large part of China is confronted with sand and dust storms (SDS)–mainly
originating in the Gobi (including Chinese and Mongolian Gobi) and Taklamakan deserts. In …

Dust particles originating from arid desert regions can be transported over long distances,
presenting severe risks to climate, environment, social economics, and human health at the …

Dust emission is a common catastrophic weather phenomenon in Northern China. This
phenomenon not only causes environmental problems, such as air pollution, but also has an …

In recent years, climate change and the intervention of anthropogenic activities have altered

The Raikoke volcano erupted on 21–22 June 2019 and emitted large amounts of volcanic
ash into the upper troposphere, and later might impose long-term effects on the global and …

Aerosol–cloud interactions (ACIs) are the largest contributor to the uncertainty in the global
radiation budget. To improve the current consideration of ACIs in global circulation models, it …
