The radiative temperature difference between 3.7 and 11 μm (ΔAT) is investigated as a possible method for tracking dust outbreaks. Theoretical calculations indicate that the technique would be most sensitive to dust loading during the day when the day when ΔAT's are enhanced by reflection of 3.7 μm solar radiation. The feasibility of tracking dust outbreaks is demonstrated by comparing satellite observations with surface estimates of visibility. Theoretical calculations also demonstrate the potential of inferring the dust layer optical depth from these spectral measurements.
