Radiative Forcing of Saharan Dust: GOCART Model Simulations Compared with ERBE Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study uses information on Saharan aerosol from a dust transport model to calculate radiative forcing values. The transport model is driven by assimilated meteorological fields from the Goddard Earth Observing System ...
The Saharan Air Layer and the Fate of African Easterly Waves—NASA's AMMA Field Study of Tropical Cyclogenesis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In 2006, NASA led a field campaign to investigate the factors that control the fate of African easterly waves (AEWs) moving westward into the tropical Atlantic Ocean. Aircraft and surface-based equipment were based on Cape ...
