Development and Assessment of the Sand Dust Prediction Model by Utilizing Microwave-Based Satellite Soil Moisture and Reanalysis Datasets in East Asian Desert Areas

<div>Spatial distribution of AOD in the desert regions of East Asia in day of year 130 in 2015. (a) Modeled AOD based on SMOS soil moisture and GLDAS wind speed, (b) MODIS AOD with Angstrom exponent mask (AE &gt; 0.35, blown dust), and (c) observed AOD from MODIS without Angstrom exponent mask. Images in right column indicate its left side’s 3D values, respectively.</div>
