Comparison of the Synoptic Environments Conducive to Eastward versus Southeastward Transport of Asian Dust Events

Figure 8

Surface maps and simulated dust distributions for the southeastward event at (a) 0600 UTC on 19 March and (b) 0000 UTC on 21 March and eastward event at (c) 0000 UTC on 23 March and (d) 0000 UTC on 24 March. Sea-level pressure is analyzed at 4 hPa interval. The full and half barbs represent 10 and 5 m s−1, respectively. The traced dust parcels predicted by the trajectory model are marked (circle or square with x).
