Transboundary air mass transport from Kyzylkum desert

Abstract

The NOAA HYSPLIT_4 trajectory model and the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis have calculated the trajectories of air particles transport from the Kyzylkum desert (Central Asia). The average annual and seasonal (winter, spring, summer and autumn) was calculated for the probability of transport to different remote regions. The probability of transport only to the mixed layer was calculated. The peculiarities of large-scale atmospheric circulation are analyzed that facilitate the transport of air masses from the Kyzylkum desert to some regions of Russia and the south of Iran.
