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

<table>Vertical distributions of dust observed by lidar total depolarization ratio (&gt;0.06 indicates dust) for the (a) southeastward event at Taipei, Taiwan, on 18–20 March and (b) eastward event at Matsue, Japan, on 22-23 March and compared with model simulation at (c) and (d), respectively.</table>
