55 sites in southern Nevada and California were sampled annually over five years to measure modern dust deposition rates, grain size, and mineralogical composition. The dataset provides average silt-plus-clay flux values ranging from 4.3 to 30 g/m2/yr, with analysis linking flux to climatic factors, source lithology, and human disturbance. Data was collected by CEOS_EXTRA, with a last update recorded in 1989.
License terms are unknown. The description notes measurement techniques differ from prior studies (e.g., trap height, exclusion of bird-derived sediment), which may affect cross-study comparisons.
