Abstract
Notice of Retraction
After careful and considered review of the content of this paper by a duly constituted expert committee, this paper has been found to be in violation of IEEE´s Publication Principles.
We hereby retract the content of this paper. Reasonable effort should be made to remove all past references to this paper.
The presenting author of this paper has the option to appeal this decision by contacting TPII@ieee.org.
In order to make clear of the dust storm characteristics in southeast the Tengger Desert, the data from 16 weather stations for more than 40 years is used for analysis. The result shows that the secular variation of the dust storms decreased since 1982 or 1983. The study area contribute more to “dust transportation path” than to “dust source”. And also, the largest number of days with dust storm does not occur at the station which is nearest to Desert, but at rain-feed farm land or semi-fixed desert area, which is quite unexpected and seems unreasonable. Therefore, further studies are required to clarify the contribution of Chinese deserts and their nearby area to dust origin.
