| Research Abstract |
The Taklimakan Desert is one of the important sources of Asian dust. It occupies most of the Tarim Basin, which is surrounded by Tianshan Mountains in north, Pamir Plateau in west, and Kunlun Mountains in south, exceeding an altitude of 5000 m. The local circulations due to the large three-dimensional geomorphology play an important role in causing the dust storms. Combining the ground/space lidars with numerical models (LES, WRF, GCM etc.) made clear the optical properties of the Taklimakan dust, fine structure of the dust layer, dust devils caused by boundary-layer and local circulation processes, and long range transport of the dust.
