.. and on to the Atlantic … The dust plume location from the GOES8 over the Atlantic is consistent with the dust location over the Midwest on the day before.

Light Extinction and Scattering During Dust Event IMPROVE Network, Bret Schichtel, Transmissometer measures the total light extinction, Bext, while the nephelometer records the light scattering, Bsp, integrated over all angles except near the direction of the light. Nephelometers underestimate coarse particle scattering by as much as 50% due to truncation of the forward scattering lobe. The large difference between the Bext and Bsp along with the low RH at Yosemite and the Grand Canyon Nat. Parks is a good indication that the Asian dust was present during April

Lidar Depolarization by Dust. Lidar Depolarization by Dust. Salt Lake City, April 15 K. Sassen, Preliminary (hurried) lidar images of the 15 April dust layer over Salt Lake City. The linear depolarization ratios in the surface to 4.5 km MSL dust layer were ~20%, sometimes ~25%, and up to ~15% aloft. This is quite high for our region.
