Cloud-enabling dust
storm forecasting
Qunying Huang, Jizhe Xia, Manzhu Yu,
Karl Benedict, and Myra Bambacus
Real-time dust storm forecasting is a typical application of computing
intensities, which requires fast, high-resolution, and large geographic area
simulation. This chapter introduces how to use cloud services to support
dust storm simulation and predictions.
10.1 DUST STORM MODELING:
BACKGROUND AND CHALLENGES
10.1.1 Background
Dust storms result from strong turbulent wind systems entraining dust
particles into the air and reducing visibility from miles down to several
meters (Goudie and Middleton 1992). Global climate cha
