Observed Key Surface Parameters for Characterizing Land–Atmospheric Interactions in the Northern Marginal Zone of the Taklimakan Desert, China

open access: yesAtmosphere, 2018
An observational data set of the year 2010 at a site in the northern marginal zone of the Taklimakan Desert (TD) was used to analyse the key surface parameters in land⁻atmospheric interactions in the desert climate of northwest China. We found that

In situ observation of warm atmospheric layer and the heat contribution of suspended dust over the Tarim Basin [PDF]

open access: yesAtmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2022
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]

open access: yesPLoS One, 2016
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]

open access: yesAtmospheric Chemistry and Physics
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

open access: yes, 2021
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]

open access: yes, 2008
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]

open access: yesNatural Hazards and Earth System Sciences
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.
