The effects of atmospheric dust on the radiative energy budget in the earth-atmosphere system are quantitatively estimated by use of the surface radiation data observed during the HEIFE experiment and NOAA-11/AVHRR data in the same period.

55 as well as the radiative forcing of atmospheric dust were studied by using the radiation model (CRM/CCM3).

Based on the retrieval principles of aerosol optical property and combination with surface observational data, some interesting results and elementary classification criteria of different dusty weather according to aerosol optical depth (AOD) had been obtained and were presented a.

During dusty weather the strong wind brings sand-dust but blows chemical pol.

The paper touches upon the dusty weather which has caused serious influence on the northern part of China, especially the sandstorm disaster and its harm.

Temporal variation of air pollution and influence of dust storms and other meteorological factors on air pollution in Xi'an City have been investigated by using data of annual mean concentration of TSP, SO_(2) and NO_(x) from 1981 to 2000, data of weekly reports and daily reports of environmental monitoring from 1998 to 2000 as well as data of routine surface and upper air observation.

Results show that Mongolia was the initial source of the dust storm influencing Korea,where it occurred between high pressure and cold front.

Base characteristics of the anomalous spring dust storm in 2006 have been analyzed in this paper,and it is found that the spring dust storm in 2006 happened frequently and is stronger than the usual.
