Short summary
Long-term observational data indicate that under sufficient moisture conditions, dust aerosols can amplify extreme precipitation (EP) in the arid Tarim Basin. Dust aerosols contribute an average of 6.6 % to EP, primarily through their role as efficient ice nuclei that enhance precipitation processes. Projections indicate that such dust-related extreme precipitation events will remain frequent throughout this century, highlighting the crucial role of dust aerosols in the regional water cycle.
