Abstract  Based on the MICAPS meteorology data, the process and the horizontal distribution of a dust storm occurring on 25—29 May 2008 were analyzed, and the vertical distribution of the dust aerosol during the dust storm transport process was analyzed using CALIPSO satellite data, and then air mass trajectories were computed with the HYSPLIT model. The results showed that the dust storm was mainly caused by the Mongolian cyclone, and the dust was transported by the low altitude jet flow. The dust near the surface was observed in the northwesterly or northerly wind flows between anticyclonic and cyclonic flows. CALIPSO data can be used to retrieve the vertical distribution of the dust-aerosol, and the depolarization ratio for dust aerosol varied from 0.10 to 0.38, the dust aerosol mainly appeared between 2 and 4 kilometers above the sea leave, and up to 5 kilometers.
Key words:  dust aerosol      vertical distribution      CALIPSO      depolarization ratio
