Anthropogenic sulfate aerosol pollution in South and East Asia induces increased summer precipitation over arid Central Asia

An equatorward shift in the Asian Westerly Jet Stream attributable to high levels of anthropogenic sulfate aerosol in South and East Asia favours the moisture supply from low-latitudes and moisture flux convergence over arid Central Asia, according to multi-model data analysis.
