| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
There are two major dusts in the world. One is the Saharan dust and the other is the Asian dust. The dust influences the global and local climates through the processes of radiation and cloud micro-physics. The present study carried out a comparative study of Asian and Saharan dusts by using in situ observations, space lidar, and numerical models. The result suggests that the Asian dust has more ability of forming ice nuclei than the Saharan dust.
