Aerosols have significant and complex impacts on regional climate in East Asia. Cloud‐
aerosol‐precipitation interactions (CAPI) remain most challenging in climate studies. The …

Air pollution has been a serious environmental problem in China that damages human
health and causes climate change. While air pollution has been extensively investigated …

Dust emission is an important corollary of the soil degradation process in arid and semi-arid
areas worldwide. Soil organic carbon (SOC) is the main terrestrial pool in the carbon cycle …

Although a remarkable reduction in the frequency of sand and dust storms (SDSs) in the
past several decades has been reported over northern China (NC), two unexpected mega …

A full understanding of the Asian dust cycle can help with evaluation of the profound impact
of mineral dust on human health, the ecosystem, the terrestrial and oceanic biogeochemical …

We analyzed the frequency and intensity of sand and dust storms (SDSs) in East Asia from
2007 to 2016 using observational data from ground stations, numerical modeling, and …

In China, the weather has changed. Decades of reform have been shadowed by a changing
meteorological normal: seasonal dust storms and spectacular episodes of air pollution have …

Dust storms are one of the major disasters in arid and semi-arid regions. Understanding the
impact factors is crucial for early warning and disaster mitigation. Many factors have been …

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 …

To quantitatively estimate the divergences in the natural and anthropogenic dust emission
fluxes among different climatic regions, the total dust emissions at the global scale from …
