This study examines the pattern transition of dust events identified based on dust RGB images from the Himawari-8 satellite, along with associated key circulations and dynamic features, during spring 2016-2020. The dust RGB images are ordered onto a 4 × 3 topological map according to the spatial similarity of the dust distribution using self-organizing maps. In this topological map, the dust distribution exhibits mainly an eastward displacement or amplification from the Taklimakan Desert to the Gobi Desert. The key circulation triggering the transition of dust pattern is the large-scale tilted ridge from Xinjiang to Siberia. Such a northeast–southwest-oriented ridge conveys cold air into Tibet and causes the near-surface Siberian high extending southward from the Sayan mountains to central China. Consequently, dust intrudes from the Gobi Desert into northern China. In contrast, a zonal “+ − +” wave train in the upper troposphere confines the near-surface high over western Siberia and induces the near-surface cyclogenesis over Mongolia and northern China. As a result, the dust is mainly concentrated over the Taklimakan Desert, with weak influence over Mongolia and northern China.

In this study, we investigated the spatiotemporal variations of border-crossing dust events (DEs), including floating, blowing dust, and dust storms between Mongolia (MG) and Inner Mongolia (IM), China using the ground-based observations from 91 synoptic stations across the Mongolian Plateau during 1977-2018. We defined the intensity of DEs (progressive and recessive) depending on the dust impact area (number of stations affected by dust) by dividing them into three categories: DEs, transported dust events (T-DEs), and severe transported dust events (ST-DEs). The results revealed that during 1977-2018, the frequency of DEs in MG was two times higher than in IM. Simultaneously, the frequency of DEs (dominated by dust storms) increased in MG, whereas IM experienced a decrease in DEs (prevalent types of blowing dust). The T-DEs occurred 2.4 times higher than the ST-DEs over Mongolian Plateau. For the border-crossing DEs, transported dust storms were the dominant type. During 1977-1999, approximately 86% of DEs in IM originated from MG; however, this was decreased to 60% in the 2000s (2000-2018). The intensity of the border-crossing DEs originated from MG and the recessive T-DEs increased significantly since the 2000s, which were more significant than the progressive type.
