introduction atmospheric processes and their interactions with ground surface responsible for formation and evolution of a heavy dust storm are important for identifying dust transport pathways. spatial and temporal distribution of middle eastern dust for a severe dust event during 4-8 july 2009 was analyzed by weather research and forecasting with chemistry (wrf/chem) model simulations, in-sit...

There is currently debate over whether the dust content of planetary systems is stochastically regenerated or originates in planetesimal belts evolving in quasi-steady state. In this paper a simple model for the steady state evolution of debris disks due to collisions is developed and confronted with the properties of the emerging population of 7 sun-like stars that have hot dust at < 10 AU. Th...

Bacterial abundance and community compositions have been examined in aeolian dust in order to clarify their possible impacts on public health and ecosystems. The influence of transcontinentally transported bacterial cells on microbial communities in the outdoor environments of downwind areas should be determined because the rapid influx of a large amount of bacterial cells can disturb indigenou...

A fully coupled meteorology-chemistry-aerosol model (WRF-Chem) is applied to simulate mineral dust and its shortwave (SW) radiative forcing over North Africa. Two dust emission schemes (GOCART and DUSTRAN) and two aerosol models (MADE/SORGAM and MOSAIC) are adopted in simulations to investigate the modeling sensitivities to dust emissions and aerosol size treatments. The modeled size distributi...

[1] An intensive 3-day dust devil investigation was conducted near Eloy, Arizona, during June of 2001. The goal was to evaluate strategies for observing dust devils on Mars by studying the physics of terrestrial dust devils. As part of this campaign, an instrumented vehicle outfitted with wind, temperature, and pressure sensors was used to intercept and penetrate numerous dust devils. Defined a...

1- introduction despite of technology progressives, natural hazards caused damage of world cities propertys and life, part of the damages related to adequate uncognition response to natural hazards. the dust natural hazard occurrence has attracted public attention in the recent years. nonrecieption and attention to the natural hazards not only affected society economic, but also affected differ...
