From: The Impact of a Severe Drought on Dust Lifting in California’s Owens Lake Area
Comparison of surface crusts observed on (a) February 1st of 2014 and (b) March 11th of 2015. Images were taken before (a) and after (b) the abrupt increase in aerosol concentration (Fig. 1). The fragmented surface salt crust observed in (b) suggests that the breaking of surface salt crusts produces the increase in aerosol concentration.
