Sources of Asian dust and role of climate change versus desertification in Asian dust emission

For long-term variations and elemental signatures of Asian dust aerosol, changes in mass, twenty elemental concentrations over the period 2001～2003 were assessed from five surface-based stations in western, northern, northeast deserts, the Loess Plateau and the coastal areas in China. Together with the back trajectory analyses and visibility observations, the elemental signatures of soil dust aerosol from different air-mass clusters were characterized for the dust storm (DS) and non-dust storm (N-DS)conditions, respectively.……
