A super dust storm enhanced by radiative feedback

npj Climate and Atmospheric Science, 2023
As the main dust source area in East Asia, the Gobi Desert (GD) exerts critical impacts on the radiation budget in downstream regions. Dust radiative feedback in the GD on the Mongolian cyclone, however, remains poorly understood.

Association between PM10 and specific circulatory system diseases in China

Scientific Reports, 2021
Particulate matter (PM) has been proved to be a risk factor for the development of circulatory system diseases (CSDs) around the world. In this study, we collected daily air pollutants, emergency room (ER) visits for CSDs, and meteorological data from ...

Emission, transport, and radiative effects of mineral dust from the Taklimakan and Gobi deserts: comparison of measurements and model results [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2017
The Weather Research and Forecasting Model with chemistry (WRF-Chem model) was used to investigate a typical dust storm event that occurred from 18 to 23 March 2010 and swept across almost all of China, Japan, and Korea.

Water-soluble ions and source apportionment of PM2.5 depending on synoptic weather patterns in an urban environment in spring dust season

Scientific Reports, 2022
Emission sources and meteorological conditions are key factors affecting the intensity and duration of air pollution events. In the current study, using the daily concentrations of PM2.5 (particulate matter with a diameter ≤ 2.5 μm) and the water-soluble

Atmospheric aerosol size distribution impacts radiative effects over the Himalayas via modulating aerosol single-scattering albedo

npj Climate and Atmospheric Science, 2023
The single-scattering albedo (SSA) of atmospheric aerosols is a key parameter that controls aerosol radiative effects. The variation of SSA is thought to be mainly regulated by aerosol absorption in the Himalayas and South Asia, but observations ...

Regional organic matter and mineral dust are the main components of atmospheric aerosols over the Nam Co station on the central Tibetan Plateau in summer

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022
The transport of air pollutants from areas surrounding the Tibetan Plateau (TP) has recently been studied. However, the major sources of atmospheric total suspended particulate matter (TSP) on the central TP remain unclear due to a lack of in-situ ...

Polarization Lidar Measurements of Dust Optical Properties at the Junction of the Taklimakan Desert–Tibetan Plateau

Remote Sensing, 2022
Previous studies have shown that dust aerosols may accelerate the melting of snow and glaciers over the Tibetan Plateau. To investigate the vertical structure of dust aerosols, we conducted a ground-based observation by using multi-wavelength ...
