Abstract

The significant spring-time phenomenon known as the "Yellow Sand" influences not only regional but also global climate. It′s believed that frequency of yellow-sand events has increased in recent years. To investigate the possible factors inducing these special strong weather phenomenon and its impacts on meteorological elements, intensive sampling will be conducted by ADEMRC/KJIST from March to May 2003. Lagrangian trajectory (forward and backward), cluster analysis, factor analysis and satellite remote sense (SRS) techniques will be employed to inspect the mechanisms of yellow-sand. (omitted)
