In situ observation of warm atmospheric layer and the heat contribution of suspended dust over the Tarim Basin [PDF]
Based on radiosonde observations from the spring and summer of 2016–2017, we verified the existence of an anomalously warm atmospheric layer and quantified the heat contribution of suspended dust over the Tarim Basin (TB) in northwest China.

Is the Taklimakan Desert Highway Shelterbelt Sustainable to Long-Term Drip Irrigation with High Saline Groundwater? [PDF]
Freshwater resources are scarce in desert regions. Highly saline groundwater of different salinity is being used to drip irrigate the Taklimakan Desert Highway Shelterbelt with a double-branch-pipe system controlling the irrigation cycles. In this study,

Response of extreme precipitation to dust aerosols in the Tarim Basin over the past 50 years [PDF]
Climate warming is simultaneously intensifying both dust activity and extreme precipitation (EP) in the arid and semi-arid regions. Meanwhile, dust aerosols further influence EP through complex cloud physical processes.

Hydrothermal Effects of Freeze-Thaw in the Taklimakan Desert
The Taklimakan Desert, also known as the “Sea of Death”, is the largest desert in China and also the world’s second largest remote desert. The road crossing the Taklimakan Desert is the longest desert road in the world and has been the center of the Silk

Theoretical analysis of the limiting rate of phreatic evaporation for aeolian sandy soil in Taklimakan Desert [PDF]
Phreatic evaporation is a great lose for shallow groundwater in the Taklimakan Desert. Given soil type and groundwater table, the limiting rate of phreatic evaporation is defined as the maximum of water transferred from groundwater to soil surface per ...

Dynamic and thermal analysis of dust storm processes based on vertical observation data [PDF]
The Taklimakan Desert (TD) is a major dust-source region in East Asia, yet the dynamic and thermal processes associated with dust-storm development remain insufficiently understood from vertically resolved observations.
