The impact of aerosols above and around the Tibetan Plateau on the Asian Summer Monsoon during premonsoon seasons March-April-May 2007, 2008, and 2009 is investigated by means of remote sensing and radiative transfer modelling. Four source regions are found to be responsible for the high aerosol loading around the Tibetan Plateau: the Taklamakan Desert, the Ganges Plains, the Indus Plains, and ...

Understanding the effect of flooding on groundwater quality is imperative for oasis vegetation protection and local ecological environment development. We used geochemical remote sensing inversion methods to evaluate effects flood recharge hydrochemical processes in Daliyaboy Oasis. Groundwater samples were collected from 30 observation wells study area before (PRF) after (POF) flood. Except sm...

During Asian dust events, a relatively high concentration of particulate matter is transported by wind from arid and semi-arid regions, such as the Gobi and Taklamakan deserts, to nearby countries, including China, Korea, and Japan. The dust particles contain various microorganisms, which can affect human health as well as the environmental microbe population. In the current study, we investiga...

The emission, transport, and deposition of dust are frequently the focus aerosol studies. However, owing to limited observation data, few studies have examined relationships between key parameters especially in typical source areas. Therefore, investigating relationship near-surface horizontal fluxes depositions desert areas can further help us understand movement transport patterns aerosols. B...
