Data       
     The data analyzed is based on the available original dust events records from the 701 meteorological stations in northern China between 1960 and 2004.
TDI and GDI
    TDI(Taklamakan Desert Index) and GDI (Gobi Desert Index) are dust Indices

Dust Spatial Distribution
The following three pictures are Distributions of 45-year (1960-2004) averaged surface observed occurrence days of spring DS, BD and FD in northern China. These places marked by dots are Hetian,Qiemo,Akesu,Ruoqiang in Xinjiang and places marked by stars are Alasyq,Alaszq,Guizihu,BymdInner in Mongolia regions.
DS(dust storm )

BD(blowing dust ) FD(floating-dust)
