An ensemble modeling approach to examining the impact of the Saharan air layer on the evolution of an idealized tropical cyclone
ABSTRACT The Saharan air layer (SAL) is a warm, dry, dusty layer of air that resides over the tropical Atlantic Ocean. While some studies have found that the SAL may indirectly promote tropical cyclone (TC) development, others have identified potential inhibiting factors for TC development. One …

Interactions Between Dust and Ecosystem, and Landscape at Multiple Scales
… suspends coarse particles. Finally, a series of air samples collected in Tenerife, Spain is revisited for a detailed study on the associated dust plume characteristics, which would facilitate the understanding of how environmental factors during transport influence airborne microbial assemblages. …

Mechanisms of Interactions between Aerosol Physics and Atmospheric Dynamics
… This study revealed that the variability Saharan dust radiative properties is significantly linked to high-frequency atmospheric wave activity across the tropical Atlantic storm tracks, while the variability of smoke particles from the South African biomass burning is attributed by …

Unraveling the Mystery of Extreme trans-Atlantic African Dust Events: Insights from Case Studies
… world’s largest source of dust. Each summer, the Saharan Air Layer transports massive amounts of mineral dust across the Atlantic Ocean, affecting weather, climate, ecosystem, and public health across large areas. While considerable attention has been devoted to extreme events like the "Godzilla" …
