(3) The occurrence of clouds for air masses coming from Northern China
is 36% (for total 117 cases). And the occurrence of dust-clouds with
depolarization ratio higher than 0.1 is 21% (among 42 cloud cases),
that basically came from the nearby desert region of Northern China
in the spring time during the period 2002-2004.
