The 9th International Workshop on Sand / Dust storm and Associated Dustfall

The dustworkshop9 develops within the frame of the World Meteorological Organization – Sand and Dust Storm Warning Advisory and Assessment System (WMO SDS-WAS) programme.

We welcome abstracts on dust research, based on

  • field measurements,
  • modelling
  • experiments

on three main topics:

DUST AND CLIMATE INTERACTIONS

  • Composition, mineralogy, size, solubility
  • Dust processing, aging and change in properties
  • Ice nuclei
  • Radiation and clouds
  • Deposition on the ocean
  • Biogeochemical cycles
  • Effects and feedbacks – weather and climate

DUST SOURCES AND VARIABILITY

  • Natural dust sources
  • Anthropogenic dust sources
  • Emerging dust sources
  • Forecast and data assimilation
  • Short-range, medium range forecasting and reanalyses

DUST IMPACTS

  • Air quality
  • Health effects
  • Solar energy production
  • Effects on agriculture
