Dust dynamics in off-road vehicle trails: Measurements on 16 arid soil types, Nevada, USA.
Soil analyses and measurements with the Portable In Situ Wind Erosion Laboratory (PI-SWERL) were conducted on 16 soil types in an area heavily affected by off-road vehicle (ORV) driving. Measurements were performed in ORV trails as well as on undisturbed terrain to investigate how ORV driving affects the vulnerability of a soil to emit PM10 (particles<10microm), during the driving as well as du...
متن کاملAssessing Factors Contributing to Dust Emissions from Public Lands On Air Quality in Areas of Clark County, Nevada
PM10 concentrations were measured at Nellis Dunes Recreation Area (NDRA), Nevada, USA. NDRA is a desert area located 6 km northeast of the metropolitan area of Las Vegas. Three sources contribute to the dust at the site: local wind erosion, off-road vehicular activity and dust production in the city of Las Vegas. PM10 concentrations were measured during one complete year and stored as 20-min av...
متن کاملChemical mass balance source apportionment of PM10 and TSP in residential and industrial sites of an urban region of Kolkata, India.
Daily average PM(10) (particulate matter which passes through a size selective impactor inlet with a 50% efficiency cut-off at 10 microm aerodynamic diameter), TSP (total suspended particulate matter) and their chemical species mass concentrations were measured at residential and industrial sites of an urban region of Kolkata during November 2003-November 2004. Source apportionment using chemic...
متن کاملAn improvement on the dust emission scheme in the global aerosol-climate model ECHAM5-HAM
Formulation of the dust emission scheme in the global aerosol-climate modeling system ECHAM5-HAM has been improved. Modifications on the surface aerodynamic roughness length, soil moisture and East-Asian soil properties are included in the parameterization, which result in a large impact on the threshold wind friction velocity for aeolian erosion and thus influence the simulated dust emission a...
متن کاملSubstantial dust loss of bioavailable phosphorus from agricultural soils
Phosphorus (P) is an essential element in terrestrial ecosystems. Knowledge on the role of dust in the biogeochemical cycling of phosphorus is very limited with no quantitative information on aeolian (by wind) P fluxes from soils. The aim of this study is to focus on P cycling via dust emissions under common land-use practices in an arid environment by integration of sample analyses and aeolian...
