Short summary
1. The formation of ice crystal clouds catalyzed by dust aerosols were observed by coherent Doppler wind lidar in the Taklimakan Desert. 2. The wind provides a dynamic basis for the formation of ice crystal clouds and plays an important role in the decomposition process. 3. The special basin topography, turbulence and downdrafts keep the base height of the ice crystal clouds at around 3 km.
