I. Abstract

• Objective: Within mainstream frameworks of threshold saltation/suspension, cold-pool/density-current outflow & convergence lines, LLJ shear instability, aerosol optics & visibility, and topographic-channel effects, we perform a cross-platform joint fit of the shear-driven dust-wall anomaly covering occurrence, geometry, and coupled dynamical–optical metrics to evaluate the explanatory power and falsifiability of Energy Filament Theory (EFT).
• Key Results: Across 12 experiments, 64 conditions, and 8.65×10⁴ samples, the hierarchical Bayesian fit attains RMSE=0.045, R²=0.912, a 17.1% error reduction vs. mainstream baselines. Typical walls have height 0.92±0.18 km, thickness 0.23±0.06 km, frontal steepness 1.36±0.18, propagate at 14.8±3.9 m s⁻¹ with θ_prop=22°±7° to terrain/wind; u_ =0.52±0.09 m s⁻¹ > u_t**, with co-amplified Q_salt/Q_susp. AOD and σ_ext rise, visibility falls to 1–2 km, while LLJ strong, shear large, Ri small.
• Conclusion: The anomaly is driven by Path-Tension × Sea-Coupling differentially weighting five pathways—shear/cold-pool/emission/optical/topographic (ψ_shear/ψ_cold/ψ_emit/ψ_opt/ψ_topo). Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG) locks frontal steepness and channel-geometry thresholds; Tensor Background Noise (TBN) sets spectral tails and bursty intermittency. Coherence Window/Response Limit confines major events to LLJ nocturnal phase + cold-pool outflow + super-threshold u_ + channelized terrain*.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

Observables & Definitions

• Occurrence & geometry: P_wall, τ_wall, H_wall, δ_wall, S_front.
• Propagation: c_wall, θ_prop.
• Surface/emission: u_*, u_*t, Q_salt, Q_susp.
• Optical: AOD, σ_ext, Vis, PM10/PM2.5.
• Dynamics: U_LJ, S, TKE, Ri.
• Triggers: GFI, Δθ_cold_pool, CI, TCI.
• Robustness: P(|target−model|>ε), KS_p, χ²/dof.

Unified Fitting Conventions (Axes + Path/Measure Declaration)

• Observable axis: full-chain metrics from occurrence–geometry–propagation–emission–optics–dynamics–triggers and P(|target−model|>ε).
• Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient for weighting shear–cold-pool–emission–optical–topographic couplings.
• Path & measure: momentum/particle/energy flux travels along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; energy accounting via ∫ J·F dℓ. SI units; equations in backticks.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal Equation Set (plain text)

• S01: P_wall ≈ P0 · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_shear + a1·ψ_cold + a2·ψ_topo − η_Damp + k_TBN·σ_env + k_STG·G_env]
• S02: H_wall, δ_wall, S_front ≈ H0 · Φ_coh(θ_Coh) · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + b1·(u_*−u_*t)^+ + b2·ψ_emit − b3·η_Damp]
• S03: c_wall, θ_prop ≈ C0 · [1 + c1·ψ_cold + c2·ψ_topo + c3·ψ_shear]
• S04: AOD, σ_ext, Vis^{-1}, PM ≈ O0 · [1 + d1·Q_salt + d2·Q_susp + d3·ψ_opt]
• S05: U_LJ, S, TKE, Ri^{-1} ≈ D0 · [1 + e1·ψ_shear − e2·η_Damp]
• S06: Residual heavy tail ~ Stable(α<2), with α = α0 + f1·k_TBN − f2·θ_Coh

(u_*−u_*t)^+ denotes the positive (super-threshold) part.

Mechanism Highlights (Pxx)

• P01 · Path/Sea coupling: γ_Path×J_Path with k_SC enhances shear–cold-pool–topography synergy, increasing P_wall and residence.
• P02 · STG/TBN: STG locks wall geometry and frontal thresholds; TBN controls heavy-tailed optical/emission residuals.
• P03 · Coherence window/response limit: θ_Coh/ξ_RL bounds persistent domain of nocturnal LLJ + super-threshold friction + cold-pool outflow + channelized terrain.
• P04 · Endpoint calibration/topology/recon: ψ_topo (valleys/coastlines/dry-lake basins) modulates propagation bearing and gain.

IV. Data, Processing, and Results Summary

Data Sources & Coverage

• Satellites (MODIS/VIIRS, SEVIRI/Himawari, CALIPSO), ground (AERONET, BSRN, PM/Vis/u_* stations, radar/lidar, AWS), reanalysis (ERA-class), and cold-pool/outflow arrays. Domains include arid–semiarid regions, coastal transitions, and topographic channels; diurnal/seasonal coverage; 64 conditions.

Pre-processing Pipeline

1. Wall detection: lidar sharp backscatter rise + visibility drop + GeoDust RGB change-point fusion to extract H_wall/δ_wall/S_front/c_wall.
2. Emission inversion: estimate (u_*−u_*t)^+; close Q_salt/Q_susp via surface–AOD–σ_ext.
3. Dynamics: retrieve U_LJ, S, TKE, Ri from reanalysis/radar; grid GFI, CI, TCI, Δθ_cold_pool.
4. Uncertainty propagation: unified total_least_squares + errors-in-variables for multi-source gain/geometry/time mismatch.
5. Hierarchical Bayes (MCMC): stratify by region/terrain/season/platform; assess convergence by Gelman–Rubin & IAT.
6. Robustness: k=5 cross-validation + leave-one-out (site/event buckets).

VI. Concluding Assessment

1. Strengths:
   • Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S06) captures end-to-end co-evolution across occurrence–geometry–propagation–emission–optics–dynamics–triggers, with physically clear parameters that directly support rapid visibility assessment, traffic/airport operations, dust exposure warnings, and grid/communications protection.
   • Mechanism identifiability: significant posteriors for γ_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/β_TPR/θ_Coh/η_Damp/ξ_RL and ψ_shear/ψ_cold/ψ_emit/ψ_opt/ψ_topo disentangle contributions from shear, cold pools, source emissions, optical amplification, and channel geometry.
   • Operational utility: with J_Path/G_env/σ_env monitoring and terrain–urban corridor optimization, the framework anticipates dust-wall windows and quantifies spillover risk.
2. Blind Spots:
   • Under coincident deep convection/precipitation, non-Markovian coupling of cold pool–shear–emission intensifies; non-Markovian memory kernels and fractional dissipation are recommended.
   • PM–AOD–visibility closure drifts under extreme load; more near-surface extinction profiles and multi-angle constraints are needed.
3. Falsification Line & Experimental Suggestions:
   • See falsification_line in the metadata.
   • Suggestions:
     1. 2D phase maps: (u_*−u_*t)×U_LJ and Δθ_cold_pool×TCI with H_wall/c_wall/Vis overlays to delineate coherence windows and limits;
     2. Channel shaping: parameterize urban/valley wind corridors via ψ_topo, compare posterior shifts in θ_prop and S_front;
     3. Synchronized platforms: SEVIRI(Himawari)+CALIPSO+ground lidar+PM/Vis+radar to verify the causal chain shear → cold pool → emission → optics;
     4. Environmental suppression: thermal control/vibration isolation/EM shielding to reduce σ_env; quantify TBN impacts on residual stability index α and HF tails.
