Dust Storms from Degraded Drylands of Asia: Dynamics and Health Impacts
Land, 2017 Asian dust events are massive meteorological phenomena during which dust particles from Chinese and Mongolian deserts are blown into the atmosphere and carried by westerly winds across Northeast Asia.

Asian dust storm events of spring 2001 and associated pollutants observed in New England by the Atmospheric Investigation, Regional Modeling, Analysis and Prediction (AIRMAP) monitoring network [PDF]
, 2004 Between 18 April and 13 May 2001, three statistically extreme dust aerosol events were observed across the entire northeastern United States. High levels of bulk aerosol water-soluble Ca2+ (range = 42–482 pptv) and PM2.5 elemental Ca (range = 19–156 pptv)

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 ...
