Dust Transport: NRL Model
• On April 7, The NRL dust model shows the dust cloud emerging from the Gobi desert
• A week later, part of the dust cloud passes over N.America toward the Atlantic
See the animation that illustrates the transport dynamics

Dust Seen over the West Coast of NAM
Dust is recognized by the yellow coloration, compared to bluish sulfate/organic haze.

.. and on to the Atlantic …
The dust plume location from the GOES8 over the Atlantic is consistent with the dust location over the Midwest on the day before.

Light Extinction and Scattering During Dust Event
IMPROVE Network, Bret Schichtel, [email protected]
• Transmissometer measures the total light extinction, Bext, while the nephelometer records the light scattering, Bsp, integrated over all angles except near the direction of the light.
• Nephelometers underestimate coarse particle scattering by as much as 50% due to truncation of the forward scattering lobe.
• The large difference between the Bext and Bsp along with the low RH at Yosemite and the Grand Canyon Nat. Parks is a good indication that the Asian dust was present during April 14-17.

Lidar Depolarization by Dust.Salt Lake City, April 15
K. Sassen, [email protected]• Preliminary (hurried) lidar images of the 15 April dust layer over Salt Lake City. • The linear depolarization ratios in the surface to 4.5 km MSL dust layer were ~20%,
sometimes ~25%, and up to ~15% aloft. This is quite high for our region.
