Abstract
According to measurements in 2000, thermal inertia inverted by remote sensing data can judge both soil moisture and soil particle size association. Thermal inertia and its differential is one of the judging indices for causing dusty storms. Therefore soil moisture and soil particle size are major factors for causing dusty storms. We show that the Tengeli Desert seems not to be major source of dusty storms in west-north China
