Study of emissions and transport of dust aerosol in Kalmykia black lands

Emission of soil particles is usually related to strong winds or dust devils. We consider dust distribution in the atmosphere of Kalmykia Black Lands (Russia) during calm weather with wind velocity that do not exceed 4 m/s from 14 to 22 June 1996. The observation experiments included the ground and...

Description
Summary:Emission of soil particles is usually related to strong winds or dust devils. We consider dust distribution in the atmosphere of Kalmykia Black Lands (Russia) during calm weather with wind velocity that do not exceed 4 m/s from 14 to 22 June 1996. The observation experiments included the ground and aircraft aerosol measurements. Measurements of aerosol mass concentration are performed continuously by nephelometer and counters, discretely by aspirate and aspiration-free samplers, and by weight method. The instrumental complex applied for these measurements covers size interval from 0.005 to 10 mu m: electrostatic analyser (0.005-1.0 mu m), laser analyser (0.1-5.0 mu m), impactor (0.01-15.0 mu m). Lidar study of aerosol systems are performed from laboratory aircraft.
