This comprehensive analysis enhances our understanding of the natural factors driving dust pollution in Central Asia and provides insights for developing effective air quality strategies to
We analyzed satellite imagery to identify the observed dust storms in Central Asia and northwestern China and created the first regional database of dust sources, including their location, time of dust
Comparisons show that fi the new deserti cation database decreases overestimation of dust emission in central Asia, including fi western Mongolia. It improves the underestimation of dust
Dust/sand storms are common events in the arid and semi-arid regions of Central Asia. The region is characterized by strong winds, scarcity of vegetation cover, continental climate with
Multiple model experiments and observations used to study dust variability and trend in Central Asia Large differences exist in the climate
Blowing dust and intense dust storms dominated the aeolian dust weather in Central Asia, which may severely affect the regional atmospheric environment and local inhabitants'' health.
Dust transported to Central Asia comes from regional sources, for example, Taklimakan desert and Aral Sea basin, and from long-range transport,
Identifying the source of dust in Central Asia is crucial for understanding the ecological environment and climate, locally and globally. In this study, daily dust aerosol data were calculated
In North Africa, Southwest Asia, and Central Asia, the distribution of dust source types aligns with global trends. However, in East Asia, hydrological dust sources account for a greater
This paper presents the first inventory of dust emission sources in Central Asia and western China (35-50°N, 50-100°E) derived from the twice daily MODIS imagery from 2003-2012.
Significant amounts of wind-blown desert dust, originating from these deserts, are deposited on glaciers of Tian Shan Mountains in Central Asia.
In this study, an inventory map of SDS sources in Central Asia derived from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MODIS) imagery using the Dust Enhancement Product (DEP)
To elucidate the spatial and seasonal heterogeneity of dust impacts on photovoltaic (PV) power generation potential across Central Asia, this study quantitatively identifies the principal
Further analysis of Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation (CALIPSO) aerosol products on a case-by-case basis in
Eolian dust is a major terrigenous component in North Pacific Ocean pelagic sediments and is an important recorder of Asian terrestrial environmental evolution and northern hemisphere
This thesis presents a detailed database of sources of dust emissions in Central Asia, from western China to the Caspian Sea, obtained by a multi-scale analysis of the Moderate Resolution Imaging
Abstract Dust storms occur frequently in arid central Asia (ACA) and greatly influence the regional ecology/environment, human health, and security,
Central Asia is one of the most important sources of mineral saline dust worldwide. A comprehensive understanding of Central Asian dust transport
This study examines sand and dust storm (SDS) activity in Central Asia from 2019 to 2023, utilizing PM2.5 data from Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring S
To our knowledge, there are few published papers which document the dust emission in Central Asia, accounting for Land-Cover and Land-Use Change (LCLUC) and regional climate
Atmospheric dust significantly influences regional and global climate systems, especially in the arid and semi-arid regions of Central Asia (CA), wher
Future changes in dust emissions over time. Spatial variability of dust emissions in Central Asia 277 Spatial distribution, linear trend, and time series of
Abstract. Dust aerosols significantly influence climate by modulating radiative balance and cloud processes. This study integrates MERRA-2 reanalysis data and the CMIP6 multi-model ensemble to
It reports locations and characteristics of dust sources and analyses their spatial and temporal variations. The data for this study were derived from analysis of the daily MODIS Terra and Aqua
A severe dust storm blanketing Central Asia on 3–4 November 2021 was investigated employing satellite remote-sensing, synoptic meteorological observations, reanalysis and HYSPLIT
