Slope Aspect Differentiation of Pisha Sandstone Slide Erosion and Its Response to Meteorological Factors by REN Yanan, LI Long, ZHANG Shangxuan, ZHANG Yu, ZHOU Xingchen

“…However, the variations in surface relief, surface dissection and elevation variation coefficient were more significant on the shady slope. Slope aspect was a critical topographic factor influencing gravity erosion on gully slopes. (2) There was a highly significant positive correlation (p<0.01) between the retreat rate of gully slopes and surface relief and surface dissection. …”

Remote-sensing detectability of airborne Arctic dust by N. T. O'Neill, K. Ranjbar, L. Ivănescu, Y. Blanchard, S. A. Sayedain, Y. AboEl-Fetouh

“…The enhanced ice-nucleating particle (INP) role of local Arctic dust can, for example, induce significant changes in the properties of low-level mixed-phase clouds (cloud optical depth changes <span class="inline-formula"><i>&lt;</i>∼</span> 1) that can readily be detected by active and passive RS instruments. It is critical that the distinction between the RS detectability of airborne Arctic dust versus the RS detectability of the impacts of that dust be understood if we are to appropriately parameterize, for example, the radiative forcing influence of dust in this climate-sensitive region.…”
