Previous studies demonstrated direct and indirect effects of atmospheric dust loading on climate. The surface and meteorological properties are known to be affecting dust entrainment process. In this study, we found decadal variations of dust occurrence in Gobi Desert with the period of similar to 24 years, utilizing the data acquired at the surface meteorological stations. An analysis of reanalysis datasets shows significant correlations between February North Atlantic Sea Surface Temperature (NASST) and precipitation in Gobi Desert and Mongolia in the following summer, causing a decadal variation of dust event frequency in the subsequent spring over the region. Strong time-lagged correlation is shown to be linked to an atmospheric wave train pattern that initiated from the NASST region, affecting large-scale circulation, ultimately causing surface drought over Gobi Desert.
