Short-cut transport path for Asian dust directly to the Arctic: a case study

Environmental Research Letters, 2015
Asian dust can be transported long distances from the Taklimakan or Gobi desert to North America across the Pacific Ocean, and it has been found to have a significant impact on ecosystems, climate, and human health.

Alterations in the airborne bacterial community during Asian dust events occurring between February and March 2015 in South Korea. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2016
During Asian dust events, a relatively high concentration of particulate matter is transported by wind from arid and semi-arid regions, such as the Gobi and Taklamakan deserts, to nearby countries, including China, Korea, and Japan.

Global dispersion of bacterial cells on Asian dust. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2012
The atmospheric dispersion of bacteria over long distances is an important facet of microbial ecology. Certain groups of dispersed bacteria can adapt to their new location and affect established ecosystems. Aeolian dust particles are known to be carriers of microbes but further research is needed to expand our understanding of this field of ...

Abundance and Community Structure of Bacteria on Asian Dust Particles Collected in Beijing, China, during the Asian Dust Season

Biological & Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 2016
Approximately 180 t/km(2) of Asian dust particles are estimated to fall annually on Beijing, China, and there is significant concern about the influence of microbes transported by Asian dust events on human health and downwind ecosystems. In this study, we collected Asian dust particles in Beijing, and analyzed the bacterial communities on these ...

Modeling East Asian Dust and Its Radiative Feedbacks in CAM4-BAM [PDF]

, 2018
East Asian dust and its radiative feedbacks are analyzed by the use of the fourth version of the Community Atmosphere Model (CAM4) with a bulk aerosol model parameterization (BAM) for the dust size distribution (CAM4-BAM).

The Asian Dust and Aerosol Lidar Observation Network (AD-NET): Strategy and Progress

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2016
We have operated a ground-based lidar network AD-Net using dual wavelength (532, 1064nm) depolarization Mie lidar continuously and observed movement of Asian dust and air pollution aerosols in East Asia since 2001.

Impacts of climate and land cover variability and trends on springtime East Asian dust emission over 1982–2010: A modeling study

, 2021
Mineral dust is an important player in global air quality and climate, but little is known about its variability and trends under the simultaneous influence of climate and land cover changes, particularly in East Asia where intense land cover change has ...

Saharan and Asian dust: similarities and differences determined by CALIPSO, AERONET, and a coupled climate-aerosol microphysical model [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2011
This study compares the properties of atmospheric dust from the Saharan deserts and the Asian deserts using data from CALIPSO and AERONET during 2006 and 2007 along with simulations using a coupled climate-microphysical sectional model.
