Bayesian motion estimation for dust aerosols
The Annals of Applied Statistics, 2015 Dust storms in the earth's major desert regions significantly influence microphysical weather processes, the CO$_2$-cycle and the global climate in general. Recent increases in the spatio-temporal resolution of remote sensing instruments have created new opportunities to understand these phenomena.

Data assimilation of dust aerosol observations for the CUACE/dust forecasting system [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2007 Abstract. A data assimilation system (DAS) was developed for the Chinese Unified Atmospheric Chemistry Environment – Dust (CUACE/Dust) forecast system and applied in the operational forecasts of sand and dust storm (SDS) in spring 2006. The system is based on a three dimensional variational method (3D-Var) and uses extensively the measurements of ...
