Dust Source Areas and Their Plume Extent Derived From Satellite Data Fields

Dust Source Areas and Their Plume Extent Derived From Satellite Data Fields AlNasser, Faisal; Chehbouni, Abdelghani; Entekhabi, Dara In this study, prominent dust source areas are identified along with their plume extent using high temporal frequency satellite observations. Hourly dust plume observations of the Dust Belt from geostationary‐orbit satellites are analyzed for the 2017‐12–2022‐11 period. To identify dust source areas and their extents, we back‐track plumes to their source, assessing
