sun light so that we were unable to make observation. The normal<br />

Junge parameter in Taklamakan Desert is 2, basically belonging to<br />

neutral extinction. During a dust storm, anomalous extinction may<br />

happen <strong>and</strong> the Junge parameter is less than 2. There is a large<br />
