Characteristics of solar radiation at Xiaotang, in the northern marginal zone of the Taklimakan Desert. [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 The characteristics of solar radiation and the influence of sand and dust on solar radiation in the northern margin of Taklimakan Desert were analyzed using radiation observation data from 2018. The results showed that the annual total radiation, direct radiation, and scattered radiation at Xiaotang were 5,781.8, 2,337.9, and 3,323.8 MJ m−2 ...

Comparison of surface wind speed and wind speed profiles in the Taklimakan Desert. [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Abstract Near-surface (10 m) wind speed (NWS) plays a crucial role in many areas, including the hydrological cycle, wind energy production, and the dispersion of air pollution. Based on wind speed data from Tazhong and the northern margins of the Taklimakan Desert in Xiaotang in spring, summer, autumn, and winter of 2014 and 2015, statistical ...

Characteristics of land-atmosphere interaction parameters in hinterland of the Taklimakan Desert. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2020 AbstractThe importance of the energy exchange between the land surface and the atmosphere can be characterized by bulk transfer coefficients for momentum, Cd, and heat, Ch. The diurnal and monthly variations of both bulk transfer coefficients and lengths of surface roughness are analyzed.

Late Oligocene-early Miocene birth of the Taklimakan Desert. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2015 Significance The formation of the Taklimakan Desert marked a major geological event in central Asia during the Cenozoic, with far-reaching impacts. Deposition of both eolian sand dunes in the basin center and the genetically equivalent loessite along the basin margins provide evidence for the birth of the Taklimakan Desert.

Dust opacities inside the dust devil column in the Taklimakan Desert [PDF]
Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2017 Abstract. The distribution of dust aerosols in dust devils (DDs) is quantitatively characterized here based on a field observation. We applied the digital optical method (DOM) with digital still cameras to quantify the opacity of the DDs in the Taklimakan Desert, China.
