Mineral dust is an important player in global air quality and climate, but little is known about
its variability and trends under the simultaneous influence of climate and land cover …

The temporal variation of dust emissions over Central Asia in recent decades and the
linkages with atmospheric factors have not been well documented. This study investigated …

Abstract The Taklimakan Desert (TD) and Gobi Desert (GD) are two of the most important
dust sources in East Asia, and have important impact on energy budgets, ecosystems and …

Human activity in modulating dust emissions is one of the major causes of large
uncertainties in the global dust budget. However, the division of natural and anthropogenic …

Dust activity not only influences human health through dust storms but also affects climate at
local and regional scales through the direct effects of dust aerosols on both solar and …

In this study, we investigate the influence of vegetation variations on dust activity (dust load,
dust transport in the troposphere, and dust weather frequency) over Northeast Asia during …

East Asian dust aerosols play a vital role in the local and regional climate through its direct,
indirect, and semidirect effects, but the dominant factors affecting the interannual variation of …

It is essential to understand the factors driving the recent decline of dust activity in East Asia
for future dust projections. Using a physically-based dust emission model, here we show that …

In order to understand impacts of global warming on dust aerosol over East Asia, a regional
climate model (RegCM3) coupled with a dust model is employed to simulate the present …

The relationship between long-term variation of Asian dust and climate indices was studied
using a regional scale dust-transport model. Simulation results were examined using …
