A GCM study of the response of the atmospheric water cycle of West Africa and the Atlantic to Saharan dust radiative forcing
The responses of the atmospheric water cycle and climate of West Africa and the Atlantic to radiative forcing of Saharan dust are studied using the NASA finite volume general circulation model (fvGCM), coupled to a mixed layer ocean. We find evidence of an "elevated heat pump" (EHP) mec...
