Short summary
A total of 743 Asian dust storm (ADS) events from January 2003 to August 2015 were analyzed using backward trajectory HYSPLIT models to gain insight into the dust generation and transport in eastern Asia. Spatial distribution of ADS events is northwesterly, as more than two-thirds of ADS events are azimuthally confined. The total amount of cumulative PM10 discharge was rather constant over time in Korea, as there is an inverse correlation between ADS occurrence and PM10 dust air concentration.
