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.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used observations from the Cheeka Peak Observatory in northwestern Washington State during March-April, 1997, to show that Asian anthropogenic emissions significantly impact the concentrations of a large number of atmospheric species in the air arriving to North America during spring.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a 10-a regional trend of NOx emissions in China from 1995 to 2004 using a bottom-up methodology and compare the emission trends with the NO2 column trends observed from GOME and SCIAMACHY, the two spaceborne instruments.

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.

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.
