Asian dust-storm activity dominated by Chinese dynasty changes since 2000 BP [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2020 How the Asian monsoon, earth surface processes and human development interact is not well known. Here, a new record of dust storm intensity shows a relationship between the stability of dynasties and dust storm activity for the last ~2200 years, which ...

Spatio-Temporal Analysis of Dust Storm Activity in Chryse Planitia Using MGS-MOC Observations from Mars Years 24–28 [PDF]
Universe, 2021 Dust storms, observed in all seasons, are among the most momentous of Mars’ atmospheric activities. The Entry–Descent–Landing (EDL) activity of a Martian landing mission is influenced by local atmospheric conditions, especially the probability of dust ...

Impacts of climate and synoptic fluctuations on dust storm activity over the Middle East. [PDF]
Atmos Environ (1994), 2018 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 ...

Intensified dust storm activity and Valley fever infection in the southwestern United States. [PDF]
Geophys Res Lett, 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.

Textured Dust Storm Activity in NE Amazonis-SW Arcadia, Mars: Phenomenology and Dynamical Interpretation. [PDF]
J Atmos Sci, 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.
