Role of the convergence zone over West Africa in controlling Saharan mineral dust load and transport in the boreal summer
During summer, large amounts of mineral dust are emitted and transported from North Africa over the tropical North Atlantic towards the Caribbean with the exact quantity varying greatly from year to year. Much effort has been made to explain the variability of summer season mineral dust load, for ex...
