Open publisher page 5 citations

Abstract

The sand aerosol number concentration is 1.0~10cm~(-3)generally, mean diameter is 1.6~4.6 μm , the maximum is 13.0~28.0 μm; TSP is 0.01~0.08 mgm~(-3); the ratios of PM_(2.5) and PM_(10)to TSP are 3.6%~13.8% and 50.3%~88.1%respectively in the upper air of desert. Sand aerosol number concentration is closely related to the surface conditions, it shows aerosol number concentration is higher over desert than that of land with growing vegetables. The size distribution of aerosol varies with height.
