Intensified dust storm activity and Valley fever infection in the southwestern United States [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2017 AbstractClimate models have consistently projected a drying trend in the southwestern United States, aiding speculation of increasing dust storms in this region. Long‐term climatology is essential to documenting the dust trend and its response to climate variability.

Atmospheric Research, 2022 As the Aral Sea shrinks, the lakebeds are gradually drying up, and the newborn Aralkum Desert (AD) has become one of the most active sands and dust storms (SDS) sources in Arid Central Asia (ACA). However, the temporal characterization of SDS activity and its possible driving factors have yet to be thoroughly investigated. Here, we studied the temporal

Impacts of climate and synoptic fluctuations on dust storm activity over the Middle East [PDF]
Atmospheric Environment, 2017 Dust events in the Middle East are becoming more frequent and intense in recent years with impacts on air quality, climate, and public health. In this study, the relationship between dust, as determined from Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) and meteorological parameters (precipitation, temperature, pressure and wind field) are examined using monthly data ...

Strong variability of Martian water ice clouds during dust storms revealed from ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter/NOMAD [PDF]
, 2019 Observations of water ice clouds and aerosols on Mars can provide important insights into the complexity of the water cycle. Recent observations have indicated an important link between dust activity and the water cycle, as intense dust activity can significantly raise the hygropause, and subsequently increase the escape of water after dissociation in ...

Characterization of dust activity on Mars from MY27 to MY32 by PFS-MEX observations [PDF]
, 2018 We present spatial and temporal distributions of dust on Mars from Ls = 331 in MY26 until Ls = 80 in MY33 retrieved from the measurements taken by the Planetary Fourier Spectrometer (PFS) aboard Mars Express. In agreement with previous observations, large dust opacity is observed mostly in the southern hemisphere spring/summer and particularly over ...

Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences, 2017 Abstract Dust storms are Mars’s most notable meteorological phenomenon, but many aspects of their structure and dynamics remain mysterious. The cloud-top appearance of dust storms in visible imagery varies on a continuum between diffuse/hazy and textured.

Recent activities for the dust storm studies in Central Asia
E3S Web of ConferencesThis paper provides an overview of state-of-the-art technologies used to detect and predict sand and dust storms (SDS). SDS events typically occur when strong winds transport dry sand and dust particles from the ground. Several technologies have been developed to detect and predict SDS, with the goal of mitigating their impact on the natural ...

The Mars Dust Activity Database (MDAD): A comprehensive statistical study of dust storm sequences
Icarus, 2020 Abstract A comprehensive Mars Dust Activity Database (MDAD) over 8 Mars years (MY 24, L s = 150°to MY 32, L s = 171°) is compiled from Mars Daily Global Maps. A total of 14,974 dust storm instances are cataloged with area > 10 5 km2 that are visually distinguishable from the surface.

Severe dust storm/thunderstorm activity over Uttar Pradesh on 13th May, 2018 - A case study
MAUSAM, 2023 Premonsoon season over Uttar Pradesh is characterized withthunderstorm accompanied with rain, dust storm, gale winds and hail storms etc. These storms generally develop locally in association with convection and moisture convergence and seen as single cells in Doppler Weather Radar, but sometime these thunderstorms are associated with synoptic scale ...

Spatial extent of dust storm boundaries in the Mars Dust Activity Database
Icarus, 2023 The Mars Dust Activity Database (MDAD) v1.1 is expanded to include all dust storm instance boundaries in MDAD v1.0 from the Mars Color Imager years (Mars Years 28–32). Dust storm boundaries are provided in two formats to ease adoption by the community: as netCDF masks and in comma separated value files.
