Numerical Modeling of Orbit-Spin Coupling Accelerations in a Mars General Circulation Model: Implications for Global Dust Storm Activity [PDF]
, 2016 We employ the MarsWRF general circulation model (GCM) to test the predictions of a new physical hypothesis: a weak coupling of the orbital and rotational angular momenta of extended bodies is predicted to give rise to cycles of intensification and relaxation of circulatory flows within atmospheres.

Observed characteristics of dust storm events over the western United States using meteorological, satellite, and air quality measurements [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2014 To improve dust storm identification over the western United States, historical dust events measured by air quality and satellite observations are analyzed based on their characteristics in data sets of regular meteorology, satellite-based aerosol ...

El Roque de Los Muchachos Site Characteristics. III. Analysis of Atmospheric Dust and Aerosol Extinction [PDF]
, 2008 Canary Islands are normally interested by dominant North-East winds that, in some meteorological conditions, can transport sand at high altitude from the Sahara desert. The dust may affect the efficiency of the telescopes and decreases the transparency of the sky.

Measurements of Background Radioactivity in Soil, Water and Dust Storm in Selected Sites of Kirkuk Governorate-Iraq [PDF]
Kirkuk Journal of Science, 2016 Fourteen (14) samples of surface soil, four (4) water samples and sample of dust storm were collected from selected sites of Kirkuk governorate. Radioactivity of (K-40, U-238, Th-232, Cs-137) were measured using NaI Gamma Spectrometer.

Deep Learning Eliminates Massive Dust Storms from Images of Tianwen-1 [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Dust storms may remarkably degrade the imaging quality of Martian orbiters and delay the progress of mapping the global topography and geomorphology. To address this issue, this paper presents an approach that reuses the image dehazing knowledge obtained on Earth to resolve the dust-removal problem on Mars.

Dust Storm Outbreak in Central Asia After ~3.5 kyr BP
Geophysical Research Letters, 2019 The evolution and driving factors underlying dust activity in central Asia remain controversial, particularly in its effects on downwind regions. We present a Holocene dust storm activity record retrieved from the Tarim Basin (TB) and perform linear and ...
