“…Broadband radiometric attenuation of surface UV due to the presence of dust aerosols over northern China were recently reported by Jin et al (2014) and are the first available UV attenuation data for this region. A point of difference between the study of Jin et al (2014) and the Saharan UV attenuation studies is that Jin et al (2014) considered the seasonal influence of dust aerosols over the 5-yr period of 2007-11.…”

“…The greatest reduction in the UV occurred under the combined influence of dust-plus-cloud conditions. Jin et al (2014) concluded dust aerosol was the main contributing factor to the observed UV attenuation, being 2-4 times greater than attenuation caused by cloud coverage. The seasonal study of Jin et al (2014) reported a maximum reduction in the total daily UV radiation due to desert sand particles and cloud cover of 83.3%.…”

The seasonal study of Jin et al (2014) reported a maximum reduction in the total daily UV radiation due to desert sand particles and cloud cover of 83.3%. This reduction was associated with the approach of a cold front (Yin et al 2013) and is the largest reported attenuation of the surface UV irradiance during a severe dust event.…”

Their analysis considered the attenuation of the surface UV radiation due to dust-, cloud-, and dust-plus-cloud-affected days.…”

“…Large dust storms in Australia occur during periods of drought and are not normally associated with high water content clouds. However, as documented by Jin et al (2014), cloud cover coupled with severe dust load has the potential to strongly attenuate the surface UV irradiance.…”

The large dust event of 23 September 2009 is recognized as the most significant on record in Australia since the 1940s. At its peak, reported hourly average particulate concentrations exceeded 15,000 μg m−3, significantly exceeding the Australian National Air Quality Standard of 50 μg m−3 and daily September averages of 20–25 μg m−3. Measurements of the spectral surface ultraviolet irradiance monitored continuously before, after, and during the event of 23 September 2009 are presented. These measurements highlight the significance of extreme dust load on the ultraviolet irradiance, and exceed previously published UV attenuations measured in Saharan and Chinese dust events. Measured spectral attenuations of up to 99.5% in the ultraviolet B and 97.6% in the ultraviolet A were associated with the arrival of low-altitude cumuliform cloud and the dust plume ahead of an approaching cold front on the morning of 23 September 2009. The data presented cover the period of maximum attenuation and the afternoon, which had no cloud cover. This research characterizes for the first time the influence of a frontal desert dust storm on the surface ultraviolet irradiance in the naturally high ambient ultraviolet climate of subtropical Australia.
