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. The April 15 dust cloud was recirculating, and it was removed b...
متن کاملSimulation of a Recent Regional Windblown Dust Event on the Columbia Plateau
A regional, windblown dust modeling system, developed for the Columbia Plateau PM10 Program (CP), was employed to simulate a regional dust storm that occurred during Sept 23 25, 1999. Observed hourly PM10 concentrations exceeded 1000 ug m at downwind urban receptors and extremely poor visibility due to blowing dust in northeastern Oregon caused a fifty car pile-up with the loss of seven lives. ...

متن کاملWindblown dust influenced by conventional and undercutter tillage within the Columbia Plateau, USA
Exceedance of the US Environmental Protection Agency national ambient air quality standard for PM10 (particulate matter ≤10 μm in aerodynamic diameter) within the Columbia Plateau region of the Pacific Northwest US is largely caused by wind erosion of agricultural lands managed in a winter wheat–summer fallow rotation. Land management practices, therefore, are sought that will reduce erosion an...
