Detection of Asian Dust Storm Using MODIS Measurements
Every year, a large number of aerosols are released from dust storms into the atmosphere, which may have potential impacts on the climate, environment, and air quality.

Asian Long-Range Transport in Relation to Atmospheric Rivers in Northern California
The study investigates the effect of aerosol long-range transport on precipitation over Northern California during atmospheric river (AR) events in the 2017 cold season (January−April). ARs in 2017 were one of the strongest to date, and the intense

Export efficiency of black carbon aerosol in continental outflow: Global implications [PDF]
We use aircraft observations of Asian outflow from the NASA Transport and Chemical Evolution over the Pacific (TRACE-P) mission over the NW Pacific in March–April 2001 to estimate the export efficiency of black carbon (BC) aerosol during lifting to the ...

Cytotoxicity of Dichloromethane Extracts of Asian Dust
The appearance of Asian Dust (AD) originating from China and Mongolia during spring each year is a meteorological phenomenon periodically observed in extensive regions of East Asia. According to a previous epidemiological study, AD has adverse effects on both human beings and ecosystems.

Global modeling study of potentially bioavailable iron input from shipboard aerosol sources to the ocean [PDF]
Iron (Fe) is an essential element for phytoplankton. The majority of iron is transported from arid and semiarid regions to the open ocean, but it is mainly in an insoluble form.

Global dust model intercomparison in AeroCom phase I [PDF]
This study presents the results of a broad intercomparison of a total of 15 global aerosol models within the AeroCom project. Each model is compared to observations related to desert dust aerosols, their direct radiative effect, and their impact on the ...
