Atmospheric and oceanic dust fluxes in the northeastern tropical Atlantic Ocean: how close a coupling?

Atmospheric inputs to the ocean of dust originating from Africa are compared with downward dust flux in the oceanic water column. Atmospheric fluxes were estimated using remote-sensing-derived dust optical thickness and parameters from a transport/deposition model (TM2z). Oceanic fluxes were...
