Abstract

With increased changes in land cover and global climate, early detection and warning of dust storms in conjunction with effective and widespread information broadcasts will be essential to the prevention and mitigation of future risks and impacts. Human activities, seasonal variations and long-term climatic patterns influence dust storms. More research is needed to analyse these factors of dust mobilisation to create more certainty for the fate of vulnerable populations and ecosystems in the future. Early warning and communication systems, when in place and effectively implemented, can offer some relief to these vulnerable areas. As an issue that affects many regions of the world, there is a profound need to understand the potential changes and ultimately create better early warning systems for dust storms.

Fußnoten
1
Based on average number of dust days in the United States for the past 10 years reported in the U.S. National Climatic Data Center database.
 
2
Erodible fraction value reflects land cover type and associated wetness.
 
3
The AI is a measurement of absorbing aerosol particles such as dust and smoke and is commonly used to identify dust source areas (NRL 2009; Washington et al. 2003). The AI is obtained using NASA’s Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) on NASA’s Earth Observing Satellite Aura (NASA undated).
