Glacial and Interglacial Patterns for Asian Dust Transport [PDF]
PAGES news, 1998 Abstract Particle-size distributions and depositional fluxes were investigated for present-day Asian dust and for the late Quaternary loess/palaeosol sequences from central China. The regional-scale transport of Asian dust during interglacial stages is mainly attributable to non-dust storm processes and is dominated by northwesterly surface winds ...

ACE-ASIA - Regional climatic and atmospheric chemical effects of Asian dust and pollution [PDF]
, 2004 Although continental-scale plumes of Asian dust and pollution reduce the amount of solar radiation reaching the earth's surface and perturb the chemistry of the atmosphere, our ability to quantify these effects has been limited by a lack of critical ...

The Spatiotemporal Characteristics and Driving Factors of Dust Emissions in East Asia (2000–2021)
Remote Sensing, 2023 The climate effect and environmental pollution caused by dust discharged into the atmosphere have attracted much attention. However, the driving factors of dust emissions have not been studied thoroughly. Here, spatiotemporal variations in dust emissions
