Mineral dust impacts key processes in the Earth system, including the radiation budget,
clouds, and nutrient cycles. We evaluate dust aerosols in 16 models participating in the sixth …

To tackle the current pressing atmospheric science issues, as well as those in the future, a
robust scientific community is necessary in all regions across the globe. Unfortunately, this …

The community land model version 4.5 provides two ways for treating the vegetation cover
changes (a static versus an interactive) and two runoff schemes for tracking the soil moisture …

Over the past decades, large variations of precipitation were observed in Africa, which often
led to dramatic consequences for local society and economy. To avoid such disasters in the …

Improving the simulation of the West African Monsoon (WAM) system is paramount to
increasing confidence in the projections of the region's monsoon rainfall change. This work …

Three convectively active African easterly waves (AEWs) that propagated south of the
African easterly jet were observed over the northeast Atlantic Ocean in September 2021 …

We have analyzed near-global stratospheric data (and mesospheric data as well for H 2 O)
in terms of absolute abundances, variability, and trends for O 3, H 2 O, HCl, N 2 O, and HNO …

The objective of this study is to evaluate the clouds seasonal occurrence characteristics, and
to estimate their impact on solar radiation in Mbour, Senegal, West Africa. Here, we use …

Dust events have occurred over the Urmia Lake Basin in northwestern Iran for many years.
In this study, we identified the mechanism and source of dust events in the region and …

This study uses the high-resolution outputs of the recent CORDEX-Africa climate projections
to investigate the future changes in different aspects of the hydrological cycle over West …
