NEW DELHI: Warming of the Arctic is reducing dust levels around the world by changing the way winds blow over deserts, thereby affecting how the dust is transported, according to a new research.
Researchers explained that driven by human-induced climate change, the Arctic region is warming at a rate faster than the rest of the world – known as Arctic amplification.
This process changes the routes of storms and patterns of winds over major sources of dust in West and South Asia namely the Arabian Peninsula and the Thar Desert between India and Pakistan, they said.
