Observations of mesoscale and boundary-layer scale circulations affecting dust transport and uplift over the Sahara

Observations of the Saharan boundary layer, made during the GERBILS field campaign, show that mesoscale land surface temperature variations (which were related to albedo variations) induced mesoscale circulations. With weak winds along the aircraft track, land surface temperature anomalies with sca...
