The spatial variation of Asian dust and marine aerosol contributions to glaciochemical signals in central Asia [PDF]
, 1992 Short-term (6 months to 17 years) glaciochemical records have been collected from several glacier basins in the mountains of central Asia. The spatial distribution of snow chemistry in central Asia is controlled by the influx of dust from the large ...
