The need for a better understanding of the role of atmospheric dust in the climate system
and its impact on the environment has led to research of the underlying causes of dust …

Super dust storms occurred over the Middle East and southwest Asia on March 2012. These
storms reduced the air quality over the Gulf Region, Iraq, Iran, and Pakistan. Airports were …

The impact of mineral aerosol (dust) in the Earth's system depends on particle
characteristics which are initially determined by the terrestrial sources from which the …

Dust storms, as extreme environmental events, are one of the Earth's major natural hazards.
Their impact on socio-economics can range from local urban to (trans-) continental and from …

Several billion tonnes of mineral dust is emitted, and transported through winds every year
from arid-semiarid areas. North African dust hot spots located in the Sahara are responsible …

Aerosol optical depth and Ångström exponent were obtained from multi filter rotating
shadowband radiometer (MFRSR) observations carried out at the island of Lampedusa, in …

Dust plays an important role in climate, recognition of which has led to a concentrated
research effort in field campaigns, development and analysis of remotely sensed data, and …

The present study addresses an intense dust storm event over the Persian Gulf and the
Arabian Sea (AS) region and its transport over the Indian subcontinent using multi-satellite …

Identifying dust aerosols from passive satellite images is of great interest for many
applications. In this study, we developed five different machine-learning (ML) based …

Between 18 March and 27 October 2002, 220 air samples were collected on 209 of 224
calendar days, on top of a coastal atmospheric research tower in Erdemli, Turkey. The …
