The authors provide a high frequency array data in the desert of Qingtu Lake including 50 Hz sonic anemometer data and 1 Hz dust monitor data.  The wall-normal array had 11 sonics and monitors spaced logarithmically from z = 0.9 to 30 m.  Based on these data, the non-stationary feature of sand and dust storms event was analyzed. During ascending, stabilizing and descending stages, the different dynamic mechanisms of the wind and dust fields are characterized.  Temporal evolution of the scaling exponent from Fourier power analysis suggests slightly below the classical Kolmogorov value of −5/3 for the three-dimensional homogeneous and isotropic turbulence. During the stabilizing stage, the collected PM10 shows a very intermittent pattern, which can be further linked with the burst events in the turbulent atmospheric boundary layer. This dataset is very valuable for studying turbulent structures and boundary layer character, as well as sand and dust storm dynamics. I appreciate to introduce this paper to communities.

General comments

The authors show the high frequency observation weather variables and PM10 during the sand and dust storms. This topic is very interesting and valuable. It would be great to show or discuss the difference between the variables during SDS days and those during normal days. Such comparison would make the study more complete. Validations of the observations before and after the SDS are required, because the SDS may damage the equipment. The paper is generally clear despite of some gramma mistakes.

Specific comments

1. Line 7: Make the unit m and meter consistent, and throughout the paper as well.
2. Lines 51-52: How did you overcome the observation difficulty in this work?
3. Lines 115-116: The sentence is too long and too confusing.
4. Line 132: Remove “current”.
5. Line 235: Put (Fig. 9) at the end of the sentence and remove “see”.
