How important are atmospheric depressions and mobile cyclones for emitting mineral dust aerosol in North Africa?

How important are atmospheric depressions and mobile cyclones for emitting mineral dust aerosol in North Africa?

This study presents the first quantitative estimate of the mineral dust emission associated with atmospheric depressions and mobile cyclones in North Africa. Atmospheric depressions are automatically tracked at 925 hPa based on ERA-Interim data from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forec...
