Venezia e il Peloponneso, 992-1718 : indagini storiche tra territorio, biblioteca e archivio by Nanetti, Andrea

A Synoptic- and Remote Sensing-based Analysis of a Severe Dust Storm Event over Central Asia by Broomandi, P, Mohammadpour, K, Kaskaoutis, DG, Fathian, A, Abdullaev, SF, Maslov, VA, Nikfal, A, Jahanbakhshi, A, Aubakirova, B, Kim, JR, Satyanaga, A, Rashki, A, Middleton, N

“…The prevailing meteorological conditions showed an intensification of air subsidence over eastern Kazakhstan, featured in a typical omega-blocking system over the region and two troughs to its west and east axis, one day before the dust storm. The prevailing high-pressure system and temperature gradients over Kazakhstan modulated the dominant anticyclonic wind pattern generated from the south Balkhash basin toward the Caspian Sea, causing a huge dust storm that covered the southern half of Kazakhstan and large parts of Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan. …”
