Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental characterization of global sources of atmospheric soil dust identified with the nimbus 7 total ozone mapping spectrometer (toms) absorbing aerosol product
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) sensor on the Nimbus 7 satellite to map the global distribution of major atmospheric dust sources with the goal of identifying common environmental characteristics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global Scale Attribution of Anthropogenic and Natural Dust Sources and their Emission Rates Based on MODIS Deep Blue Aerosol Products
TL;DR: In this article, a global-scale high-resolution (0.1°) mapping of sources based on Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Deep Blue estimates of dust optical depth in conjunction with other data sets including land use is presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, two intense dust storms were generated over the Gobi desert by springtime low-pressure systems descending from the northwest, and the windblown dust was detected and its evolution followed by its yellow color on SeaWiFS satellite images, routine surface-based monitoring and through serendipitous observations.
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
Eolian sediments generated by anthropogenic disturbance of playas: human impacts on the geomorphic system and geomorphic impacts on the human system
TL;DR: In many of the Earth's arid and semiarid lands, saline lakes, playas, and similar landforms are disturbed as a result of human activity as discussed by the authors, resulting in the desiccation of lakes and reactivation of eolian processes at many locations.
