Dust cycle: An emerging core theme in Earth system science (2011, methodology): “Due to the strong westerly flow in the upper atmosphere, the uplifted dust can travel more than once round the Earth (Uno et al., 2009).”
Sand and Dust Storms: Impact Mitigation (2017, background): “Dust from northeast Asian deserts, another major source, is frequently transported over the Korean Peninsula and Japan [43], across the Pacific Ocean to the North American continent [44], Europe [45] and on occasion even further [46].”
