the dust emission model DUSTEM, and the transport model CAMx. The performance of the three-model simulation system was evaluated using a major dust storm that occurred in March 2002 in the desert of the Alashan Prefecture (Inner Mongolia, China) and which
had a significant impact over a large area in northern China. In order to identify potential active dust sources, a specific remote sensed analysis, calibrated through a field campaign in the Alashan Prefecture region, has been assimilated
Spatial and temporal dust source variability in northern China identified using advanced remote sensing analysis

The aim of this research is to provide a detailed characterization of spatial patterns and temporal trends in the regional and local dust source areas within the desert of the Alashan Prefecture (Inner Mongolia, China). This problem was approached
