April 98 Asian Dust Event Summary

 This page contains the Summary of the April 98 Asian Dust Event. The summary is to be developed based on submissions and discussion by the interesed comunity. To submit a comment you must be registered with the People Page.

The main topics of the proposed summary are: (1) The Source and Emission Characteristics; (2) Atmospheric Transport; (3) Dust Transformation and Removal; (4) Spatial-Temporal Pattern of the Dust; (5) Physical, Chemical and Optical Characteristics; (6) Effects and Implications of the Dust Event. The topics can be further subdivided into the Asian, Trans-Pacific and North American phase of the dust event.
