Abstract

The combined decadal (2007 -2016) active (CALIOP/CALIPSO) and passive (OMI/Arua) satellite remote sensing aerosol products are used to compare and analyze the similarities and differences between the mineral dust and salt dust aerosol optical properties in three typical regions: Tarim Basin (mineral dust source), Iranian Plateau (transported dust region) and Aral Sea (salt dust source).The main results are as follows: (1) The monthly variations of column aerosol optical depth have similar patterns in three regions, the maximum of AOD in Tarim Basin and Aral Sea appear in April, while the Iranian Plateau occurs in summer; (2) The maximum occurrence frequency of aerosol in Tarim Basin and Aral Sea are both close to the ground, while Iranian Plateau concentrates on about 2~3 km above sea level.(3) The nonsphericity of transported dust in Iranian Plateau and salt dust in Aral Sea are both weaker than that of source-region dust in Tarim Basin, and the particle size of salt dust is significantly smaller than that of mineral dust, hence salt dust is identified as polluted dust by CALIOP.(4) The absorption capacity of salt dust in Aral Sea is comparable to that of the mineral dust in Tarim Basin, but slightly greater than transported dust in Iranian Plateau.
