Arrangement of land surface and upper atmosphere patterns for dust event days: (a) July 2, 2008, and (b) February 18, 2017. For map (a): background standardized land surface pressure (SLP) in hPa, black lines, land surface temperature in degrees Celsius and dashed lines, white is Omega in Pascasl/s. For map (b), the background of Omega values in Pascal/s, continuous lines, geopotential height is 1,000 hectopascals in meters and broken lines; geopotential height is 850 hectopascals in meters.
