Map of Central Asia showing dominant influences on directions of dust transporting winds (in purple). The Caspian Sea Hindu Kush Index (CasHKI), a pressure difference between the Caspian Sea and the Hindu Kush mountains, leads to a deflection of westerly winds (Kaskaoutis et al., 2017). The winds are further deflected by the Alai, Pamir and Hindu Kush Mountains. Black star shows the location of the study described here. Figure from Schneider et al.
