Source of dust events at each site. For context, “Total” represents the total number of days with data at each site for the durations shown in Table 1. “Dust events” are the subset of days that exceeded the threshold fine soil concentration for a particular month. The subsequent four columns to the right further categorize the dust events into specific sources. Mix represents influence from both African and Asian dust, whereas Other indicates no influence from either of those two.
