"Sand and dust storms (SDS) occur when strong winds lift sand and dust from dry soils into the atmosphere, transporting particles over vast distances. They impact climate, weather, and ecosystems and harm human health, agriculture, transportation, and solar energy. At the same time, they also supply nutrients to ocean ecosystems."
