Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial and seasonal trends in particle concentration and optical extinction in the United States
TL;DR: In the spring of 1988 an interagency consortium of Federal Land Managers and the Environmental Protection Agency initiated a national visibility and aerosol monitoring network to track spatial and temporal trends of visibility and visibility-reducing particles as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seismicity and shape of the subducted Nazca Plate
Thomas A. Cahill,Bryan L. Isacks +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an updated compilation of earthquake locations and focal mechanism solutions from the International Seismological Centre and Preliminary Determination of Earthquakes is the basis of a comprehensive study of the geometry of the Wadati-Benioff zone beneath western South America.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-range transport of North African dust to the eastern United States
TL;DR: The long-range transport of North African dust to the Middle East, Europe, South America, and the Caribbean has been well documented during the past 25 years as discussed by the authors, with the advent of routine collection and analysis of fine aerosols at national parks, monuments, and wilderness areas in the continental United States.
Journal ArticleDOI
ACE-ASIA Regional Climatic and Atmospheric Chemical Effects of Asian Dust and Pollution

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
Comparison of Real-Time Instruments Used To Monitor Airborne Particulate Matter
Albert Chung,Daniel P.Y. Chang,Michael J. Kleeman,Kevin D. Perry,Thomas A. Cahill,Dabrina D. Dutcher,Eric M. McDougall,Kenneth Stroud +7 more
TL;DR: Based on instrument performance, the BAM, the integrating nephelometer, and the CAMM appear to be suitable candidates for deployment in a real-time continuous PM2.5 monitoring network in central California for the range of winter conditions and aerosol composition encountered during the study.
