Eleven billion metric tons of plastic are projected to accumulate in the environment by 2025. Because plastics persistent, they fragment into pieces that susceptible wind entrainment. Using high-resolution spatial and temporal data, we tested whether deposited wet versus dry conditions have distinct atmospheric life histories. Further, report on rates sources deposition remote U.S. conservation areas. We show urban centers resuspension from soils or water principal for wet-deposited...
Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite estimates of summertime rainfall over the southeast U.S. are found on average to be significantly higher during middle work week than weekends, attributable a midweek intensification afternoon storms and an increase in area with detectable rain. TRMM radar data show significant echo‐top heights reached by storms. Weekly variations model‐reanalysis wind patterns region consistent changes convection implied data. rain gauge averages also...
<p>The DUST^2 project is a new Critical Zone Thematic Cluster funded by the US National Science Foundation.  DUST^2, an abbreviation for Dust across Desert-Urban-Summit Transect, will study modern dust system in southwestern North America, from source to sink using combination of methods.  Previous work has demonstrated that arid lands are significant sources mineral dust.  The amount emitted increased notably following European...
<p>Eleven billion tons of plastic are projected to accumulate in the environment by 2025. Because plastics persistent, they fragment into pieces that susceptible wind entrainment. Using high resolution spatial and temporal data we tested whether deposited wet versus dry have unique atmospheric life histories. Further, report on rates sources deposition remote U.S. conservation areas. We show urban centers resuspension from soils or water important for deposition. In contrast,...
