What controls the recent changes in African mineral dust aerosol across the Atlantic? [PDF]

, 2014
Dust from Africa strongly perturbs the radiative balance over the Atlantic, with emissions that are highly variable from year to year. We show that the aerosol optical depth (AOD) of dust over the mid-Atlantic observed by the AVHRR satellite has ...
