Journal ArticleDOI
Asian dust transported one full circuit around the globe
Itsushi Uno,K. Eguchi,Keiya Yumimoto,Toshihiko Takemura,Atsushi Shimizu,Mitsuo Uematsu,Zhaoyan Liu,Zifa Wang,Yukari Hara,Nobuo Sugimoto +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors use measurements from the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (Mie-Lidar) to map the transport of dust clouds generated during a storm in China's Taklimakan Desert during May 2007, and show that the dust-veiled clouds were lofted to the upper troposphere around 8-10 km above the Earth's surface and transported more than one full circuit around the globe in about 13 days.
Journal ArticleDOI
Continuous observations of Asian dust and other aerosols by polarization lidars in China and Japan during ACE-Asia
Atsushi Shimizu,Nobuo Sugimoto,Ichiro Matsui,Kimio Arao,Itsushi Uno,Toshiyuki Murayama,Naoki Kagawa,Kazuma Aoki,Akihiro Uchiyama,A. Akihiro Yamazaki +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used polarization lidars for continuous observations of aerosols in China and Japan during March to May 2001, corresponding with the Asian Pacific Regional Aerosol Characterization Experiment (ACE-Asia) field campaign period.

Weber,Jung-Hun Woo,Xiao Y. Zhang +24 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors performed a comprehensive surface, airborne, shipboard, and satellite measurements of Asian aerosol chemical composition, size, optical properties, and radiative impacts during a massive Chinese dust storm at numerous widely spaced sampling locations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Overview of the Atmospheric Brown Cloud East Asian Regional Experiment 2005 and a study of the aerosol direct radiative forcing in east Asia
Teruyuki Nakajima,Soon-Chang Yoon,Veerabhadran Ramanathan,Guangyu Shi,Toshihiko Takemura,Akiko Higurashi,Tamio Takamura,Kazuma Aoki,Byung-Ju Sohn,Sang Woo Kim,Haruo Tsuruta,Nobuo Sugimoto,Atsushi Shimizu,Hiroshi Tanimoto,Yousuke Sawa,Neng Huei Lin,Chung Te Lee,Daisuke Goto,Nick Schutgens +18 more
TL;DR: In this article, the role of aerosol parameters and surface condition to determine the aerosol forcing was investigated and simple formulae for shortwave radiative forcing were proposed to check the consistency among the observed quantities.

Record heavy Asian dust in Beijing in 2002: Observations and model analysis of recent events
Nobuo Sugimoto,Itsushi Uno,Masataka Nishikawa,Atsushi Shimizu,Ichiro Matsui,Xuhui Dong,Yan Chen,Hao Quan +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a record heavy Yellow Sand event was observed on 20 March in Beijing, where the visibility derived from the lidar data was 650 m and the total suspended particle concentration was 11 mg/m3 at the peak.
