When Is A Dust Storm Not A Dust Storm: Examining the Reliability of the Storm Events Database for Assessing the Incidence of Dust Storms in the USA

2022
Dust is a meteorological phenomenon that has a strong impact on the environment, air quality, and human health. In the USA one of the most widely used databases of information on dust events is the Storm Events Database (SED). This project aims to examine the reliability and usefulness of the SED as a source for documenting the climatology of dust ...

Dust storms in China: a case study of dust storm variation and dust characteristics

Bulletin of Engineering Geology and the Environment, 2002
The paper discusses the nature of dust storms, which have inherent environmental implications. The physical, chemical and mineralogical properties of dust sediments collected in Kashi, Taklimakan desert, Kunlun mountains, Donghuang, Lanzhou, Ningxia, Xi'an, Inner Mongolia and Beijing from 1990 to 1994 were studied.

Dust storms [PDF]

open access: possible, 2008
Dust storms are remarkable natural phenomena. They affect many countries in the Northern Hemisphere and, as such, have become an interesting research topic. We show that nowadays China is the number one publishing country of articles related to their study. On a world scale the number of publications on this topic is increasing exponentially.

Dust Storms in Space?

International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1971
Silverberg (1970) has explained the “dust storms” observed by the early satellite-borne microphone detectors by postulating that the orbital planes of short-period, low-inclination comets are filled with micrometeoroids. We report here on three separate approaches to test the validity of this hypothesis.

Dust storms: Recent developments

Journal of Environmental Management, 2009
Dust storms have a number of impacts upon the environment including radiative forcing, and biogeochemical cycling. They transport material over many thousands of kilometres. They also have a range of impacts on humans, not least on human health. In recent years the identification of source areas for dust storms has been an important area or research ...

Dust storms in Turkmenistan

Journal of Arid Environments, 2005
Dust storms are a phenomenon particularly common to the arid and semi-arid regions of Turkmenistan. The aridity of the climate, vast areas of sandy, solonchak and clayey deserts, sparse vegetation cover, and strong winds all favor the formation of dust storms.

Dust storm in a buttercup

Industrial Management, 1971
POLLUTION SEEMS SURE of a place among the top ten public relations campaigns of the century. Of course, it has enormous attractions as an issue. It has considerable emotional appeal for a start: images of unhealthy people breathing foul air in monstrously distorted countryside laid waste by generations of conspicuous consumption.
