Implications of a shrinking Great Salt Lake for dust on snow deposition in the Wasatch Mountains, UT, as informed by a source to sink case study from the 13–14 April 2017 dust event
S. McKenzie Skiles,Derek V. Mallia,A. Gannet Hallar,John C. Lin,Andrew Lambert,Ross Petersen,Steven L. Clark +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a case study of a dust event observed in the Wasatch (13-14th April, 2017), sampled coincidentally in the air and at the snow surface at an instrumented high elevation site (Atwater Study Plot, Alta, UT). Atmospheric back-trajectory modeling, the results of which were supported by measurements, showed that dust originated predominantly from the west: the Great Salt Lake Desert and the dry lake bed.

Climatology of New Particle Formation and Corresponding Precursors at Storm Peak Laboratory
A. Gannet Hallar,Ross Petersen,Ian B. McCubbin,Doug Lowenthal,Shan-Hu Lee,Elisabeth Andrews,Elisabeth Andrews,Fangqun Yu +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, 13 years of measurements of ultrafine (3-10 nm diameter) aerosols are presented from a remote high elevation (3210 m a.s.l.) site in Colorado, Storm Peak Laboratory.
Impacts of increasing aridity and wildfires on aerosol loading in the intermountain Western US
A. Gannet Hallar,A. Gannet Hallar,Noah P. Molotch,Noah P. Molotch,Jenny L. Hand,Ben Livneh,Ben Livneh,Ian B. McCubbin,Ian B. McCubbin,Ross Petersen,Ross Petersen,Joseph J. Michalsky,Joseph J. Michalsky,Douglas Lowenthal,Douglas Lowenthal,Kenneth E. Kunkel +15 more
TL;DR: In this paper, long-term observations of aerosol optical depth, surface level aerosol loading, fire-area burned, and hydrologic simulations are used to show that regional-scale increases in aridity and resulting wildfires have significantly increased summertime aerosol load in remote high elevation regions of the Intermountain West of the United States.

Contributions of dust and biomass burning to aerosols at a Colorado mountain-top site
Anna G. Hallar,Ross Petersen,Elisabeth Andrews,Elisabeth Andrews,Joseph J. Michalsky,Joseph J. Michalsky,Ian B. McCubbin,John A. Ogren +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the seasonal impact of dust and biomass burning is considered for the western USA using visible multifilter rotating shadowband radiometer (vis-MFRSR) data.
Numerical, wind-tunnel, and atmospheric evaluation of a turbulent ground-based inlet sampling system
Ross Petersen,Anna G. Hallar,Ian B. McCubbin,John A. Ogren,Elisabeth Andrews,Douglas H. Lowenthal,Riley A. Gorder,Rick Purcell,Darrah K. Sleeth,Igor Novosselov +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the use of inlets for transferring aerosols from the environment to instrumentation can introduce uncertainty in the measurement of aerosol properties, which is a non-negligible loss during this process.
