Areal Extent of Dust Emission Events and Source Geomorphology in Northern Africa from MSG-SEVIRI Data

In this study we (1) mapped the areal extent of current dust sources over Northern Africa between 8°W–31°E and 22°N - Mediterranean coast; and (2) identified and characterized the geomorphic units and soil types that emit dust from these areas.
