Dust emission source characterization for visibility hazard assessment on Lordsburg Playa in Southwestern New Mexico, USA
Abstract In drylands around the world, ephemeral lakes (playas) are common. Dry, wind-erodible playa sediments are potent local and regional sources of dust and PM10 (airborne particles with diameters less than 10 μm). Dust clouds often cause sudden and/or prolonged loss of visibility to travelers o...
