Dust Identification over Arid and Semiarid Regions of Asia Using AIRS Thermal Infrared Channels

Asia dust generated in northern China exerts significant influences on regional air quality, weather, and climate. In this study, a dust identification algorithm over arid and semiarid regions of Asia was proposed based on the thermal observations of atmospheric infrared sounder (AIRS). Firstly, a c...
