Tmangray 18:34, (UTC) Comments removed from article markup There are surprisingly few other such ref's online. It will take time to input and footnote from this work. Blaxthos 17:33, 30 April 2007 (UTC) Much good info can be gleaned from the ref. How about some information regarding duration (as noted above), frequency of occurance, long term effects, effects on culture & region, etc. This article needs some major work, especially if it's rated as high importance within an associated wikiproject.

Tmangray ( talk) 18:05, 7 January 2008 (UTC) Reorganized Valley Fever is a notorious example in the arid southern San Joaquin Valley of California. I don't know about viruses spread this way, but certainly pathogenic fungi are spread this way. I'll see what I can do later, but this whole article is just one big paragraph! SuperCow 17:34, 23 June 2006 (UTC) Viruses Īfaik, dust storms tend to spread diseases, can anyone find any reliable information about it? Fdskjs 11:00, 29 July 2006 (UTC) Now that I've read this - It really needs a lot of work. I might be able to look at it later and see what I can do with it. That first paragraph is just way too long. I have pictures of some of them on my facebook. I work in Iraq and they have lasted for days at times here. It is like a wave of dust that comes from one direction and envelopes everything. Sometimes that can last longer and some are mild throughout, but the pic of the texas storm in 1935 from the article is representative of a dust storm we had June 6th 2006. 2tothe4 01:24, 15 July 2005 (UTC)įrom my experience in Phoenix Arizona over the last 5 years- they usually last about an hour - the first 10 minutes will be the worst and then a gradual clearing. I was just wondering if anyone knows how long a sandstorm/dust storm can last. Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.217.150.76 ( talk) 01:00, 7 September 2015 (UTC) Duration I suggest the text should read "as much as 1.6 km (1 mi) high". Isn't is a bit ridiculous to say a dust storm can be "as much as 1.6 km (0.99 mi) high"? Clearly what has happened here is the original data was that a dust storm can be as much as 1 mile high, which has then been converted to 1.6 km high, which is then being converted back again to miles with a silly degree of accuracy.
Weatherlawyer ( talk) 05:57, 25 February 2015 (UTC) If this is so why does it differ to acoustic properties of earth's atmosphere? I gather that some research has suggested the cause of saltation there, may be due mostly to the effect of sound. How does mars have worse storms than earth if the atmosphere is something like 1% of the density of earth's atmosphere? My point is there has to be another factor other than wind. The article may contain my answer but if someone could just point it more clearly like I am a five year old. What gives, so from what I can observe is that there has to another factor besides wind to cause dust storms. Weird thing though we have experienced dust storms with literally no wind, and other times there has been winds of up to 35 mph and no dust storm.
I work in Iraq and we have crazy dust storms that last days. I want to see pictures or some other link to a web site that DOES have pictures. However, you do not list what makes them different, nor any examples. In one of your aricles, you say that there are three types: Creep, Siltation, and Suspension. I was wondering what the types of sand storms there are. 14 File:Redsea sandstorm May13-2005.jpg to appear as POTD soon.12 New section needed on health effects.11 microorganisms in desert dust and implications for human health.10 mold-carrying desert dust may induce respiratory stress and seed downwind ecosystems.9 Saharan dust storms carry mold, including Aspergillus and others.
