dust storms are catastrophic natural disasters that beside other disasters frequency occur in the arid and semiaridregions worldwide. drought occurrence, climate aridity, dryness of the hamoun lake cause strong winds to below.these conditions have been prepared for dust storms in sistan region. the damages to sistan society have beenmeasured using different criteria. the result shows that, peak...

The observed decline of spring dust storms in Northeast Asia since the 1950s has been attributed to surface wind stilling. However, spring vegetation growth could also restrain dust storms through accumulating aboveground biomass and increasing surface roughness. To investigate the impacts of vegetation spring growth on dust storms, we examine the relationships between recorded spring dust stor...

Data from the third Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) mapping year (MY 26, 2003–2005) are used to investigate dust storms originating in the northern hemisphere. Flushing dust storms, which originate as frontal dust storms at the northern polar vortex edge and propagate southward through topographic channels, are observed immediately before and after a quiescent period that occurs around the northern ...

1. introduction dust storm is an important atmospheric phenomenon. it has important environment, health, economic and social activities due to penetration of suspended particles of dust to the atmosphere. measurements resulting from earth and satellite stations show the fact that particles of dust in storms, remain in the nature for a long time. they can get far away by wind, hundreds of kilome...

Context. It is known that the Canary Islands are normally affected by dominant winds flowing from north-northeast, that in some meteorological conditions, can transport sand from the Sahara desert at high altitude. The dust may affect the efficiency of the telescopes and decrease the transparency of the sky. Aims. To maximize the scientific return of the telescopes located at the Observatorio d...

Dust storms in northern China strongly affect the living and health of people there and the dusts could travel a full circle of the globe in a short time. Historically, more frequent dust storms occurred during cool periods, particularly the Little Ice Age (LIA), generally attributed to the strengthened Siberian High. However, limited by chronological uncertainties in proxy records, this mechan...
