Horizontal and vertical distributions of dust aerosols over northern China were investigated for the period June 2006 to May 2011 using A-Train satellite constellation data and ground-based measurements. Surface observations at 675 meteorological stations showed that dust events occurred most frequently in the Taklamakan and Gobi deserts. In the Taklamakan Desert, the dust aerosol content was high...
Macrophysical and optical characteristics of cirrus clouds were investigated at the Semi-Arid Climate Observatory and Laboratory (SACOL; 35.95°N, 104.14°E) of Lanzhou University in northwest China during April to December 2007 using micro-pulse lidar data and profiling radiometer measurements. Analysis of the measurements allowed the determination of macrophysical properties such as cirrus cloud height,...
This study investigated the long-term trends of precipitable water and precipitation over the Tibetan Plateau using satellite and surface measurements. The results show that precipitable water in the 680–310hPa layer of the atmosphere has increased significantly since the 1990s, with an upward trend of 6.45cm per decade and particularly high increases in summer. However, precipitation has not shown...
