On the Middle East's severe dust storms in spring 2022: Triggers and impacts
Abstract
Cutoff lows over eastern Mediterranean fueled by tropical atmospheric rivers, led to widespread convection over Turkey and neighboring regions. • Density currents emanating from convection triggered severe dust storms that significantly impacted the radiative budget and the boundary layer structure. • A warming effect of the dust was observed over the southern Arabian Peninsula both at the ground and throughout the dust layer.
