The terrible 'made in China' dust around the Earth

Japanese scientists first discovered the strange phenomenon: Clouds created by a giant dust storm and existed for so long that they circled more than one round of the earth.

This dust storm comes from the Taklimakan desert in northwestern China (see Figure 1) and moves around the earth for 13 days. With a radius of only 1.9 miles, the dust storm is as high as 1,242 miles.

After two rounds of rolling around the earth, the dust storm moved to the Pacific Ocean and declined, then poured a giant block of dust into the sea (see Figure 2) .

According to GS. Itsushi Uno, Kyushu University (Japan): ' The dust blocks in Asia tend to pour into the Golden Sea, the Japanese sea area, and the dust from the Sahara Desert (Africa) poured out. Atlantic Ocean. '

However, the giant dust storm ' Made in China ' is falling into the Pacific Ocean again. These terrible dust clouds contain up to 5% of iron, which is important for the ocean.

In a report by scientists published in Nature Geoscience, they described how to quantify and monitor the movement of dust storms on May 8 and May 9, 2007 through satellites. by NASA and by calculation method.

They discovered that this dust storm has attracted up to 5-6 miles from the earth's surface before the glider flies around the earth . The most important thing was to discover and track throughout the rotation of the dust storm. And the awful thing is that the dust storm has moved more than one round of the earth, without a single researcher having discovered it before.

After half a round of rolling around the earth, dust clouds often fall low and are hard to detect, although it still lasts a few more weeks.
