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

Figure 5

NOAA HYSPLIT backward trajectories of (a) southeastward and (b) eastward dust events and their vertical profiles initiated from Taipei, Taiwan, and Matsue, Japan, respectively. Initial heights are 200, 500, and 800 m for the southeastward event and 1700, 2000, and 2300 m for the eastward event. Trajectories are marked every 6 hours.
