First long-term detection of paleo-oceanic signature of dust aerosol at the southern marginal area of the Taklimakan Desert [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2018 We firstly conducted a long-term in-situ field measurement at a marginal area (Hotan) of the southern Taklimakan Desert covering all four seasons. Detailed chemical characterization of dust aerosol over Hotan showed several unconventional features ...

Turbulent Mechanisms for the Deep Convective Boundary Layer in the Taklimakan Desert
Geophysical Research Letters, 2022 The deep convective boundary layer (CBL) in the Taklimakan Desert plays an important role in the climate system in East Asia. Based on the observation experiment and large‐eddy simulation, turbulent mechanisms for its formation were revealed in this ...

Refuting the evidence for an earlier birth of the Taklimakan Desert. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2015 In a recent issue of PNAS, Zheng et al. (1) report a “Late Oligocene–Early Miocene age” of the Taklimakan Desert in northwest China. Their age was based on 40Ar/39Ar dating of biotites and U–Pb dating of zircons from layers within the Xiyu Formation, which they interpreted as “volcanic ash.” This chronology effectively extends the formation of the ...

An elevated large-scale dust veil from the Taklimakan Desert: Intercontinental transport and three-dimensional structure as captured by CALIPSO and regional and global models [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2009 An intense dust storm occurred during 19–20 May 2007 over the Taklimakan Desert in northwestern China. Over the following days, the space-borne lidar CALIOP tracked an optically thin, highly elevated, horizontally extensive dust veil that was transported

Investigation of the Surface Condition in Taklimakan Desert
Journal of Geography (Chigaku Zasshi), 1994 The results of in situ survey in the selected places in the periphery of Taklimakan Desert are described with an emphasis on the relationship between spectral reflectance and soil moisture contents.It is found that there is inverse relation between the spectral reflectance and soil moisture content, and it is found that soil moisture content can be ...
