Abstract The Arabian Peninsula has experienced pronounced interannual to decadal
variability in dust activity, including an abrupt regime shift around 2006 from an inactive dust …

Precise information of wind speed probability distribution is truly significant for many wind
energy applications. The objective of this study is to evaluate the suitability of different …

This study analyzes six frontal dust storms in the Middle East during the cold period (October–
March), aiming to examine the atmospheric circulation patterns and force dynamics that …

Aerosol optical properties have been analyzed to investigate seasonal and regional
variability of aerosols and to classify their key types over the Middle East during the period …

Ephemeral and dried lakes in southwest and central Asia, such as the Aral Sea and
Hamouns in east Iran, are major sources of dust storms with an increasing tendency during …

Jazmurian (or hamun-e Jaz Murian) is a dried lake located in a topographic-low basin in
southeast Iran and a major source for high dust emissions under favorable weather …

Spatial mapping of dust sources in arid and semi-arid regions is necessary to mitigate on-
site and off-site impacts. In this study, we apply a novel integrated modelling approach …

This study examines the atmospheric circulation patterns that are associated with
contrasting wind regimes, desert dust outflows and accumulation of dust over the Arabian …

A severe dust storm occurred over north India during 12–16 June 2018 is analyzed using
satellite observations, reanalysis, ground‐based measurements, and model (Meso‐NH) …

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 …
