This study provides a detailed description of the sources, transport, dispersion, and deposition of two major dust events originating from the high‐altitude subtropical Puna‐Altiplano Plateau (15?26°S; 65?69°W) in South America. A long and severe drought provided the right conditions for the onset o...
