The West African Sahel is well known for the severe droughts that ravaged the region in the
1970s and 1980s. Meteorological research on the region has flourished during the last …

Mineral dust plays a pivotal role in the Earth's system. Dust modulates the global energy
budget directly via its interactions with radiation and indirectly via its influence on cloud and …

Atmospheric mineral dust has recently become an important research field in Earth system
science because of its impacts on radiation, clouds, atmospheric dynamics and chemistry …

African Monsoon Multidisciplinary Analysis (AMMA) is an international project to improve our
knowledge and understanding of the West African monsoon (WAM) and its variability with an …

Abstract The West African heat low (WAHL), a region of high surface temperatures and low
surface pressures, is a key element of the West African monsoon system. In this study, we …

Abstract Predicting the West African monsoon (WAM) remains a major challenge for weather
and climate models. We compare multiday continental‐scale simulations of the WAM that …

Fifteen‐minute Meteosat Second Generation (MSG) Spinning Enhanced Visible and Infrared
Imager (SEVIRI) infrared dust index images are used to identify dust source areas. The …

Following the CORDEX experimental protocol, climate simulations and climate-change
projections for Africa were made with the new fifth-generation Canadian Regional Climate …

The Sahelian belt is known to be a region where atmospheric levels of suspended mineral
dust are among the highest observed on Earth. In the framework of the AMMA (African …

There have been significant advances in the use of biological and physical selectors for the
intensification of continuously flowing biological wastewater treatment (WWT) processes …
