Abstract: Mineral aerosols from North Africa represent one of the largest sources of aerosols available to the atmosphere, and their generation and transport are thought to be modulated by African easterly waves. In this study, the ...

Abstract: The role of Saharan dust and dry anomaly in maintaining the temperature inversion in the Saharan air layer (SAL) is investigated. The dust aerosol optical thickness (AOT) in the SAL is inferred from the measurements taken ...

Abstract: his paper evaluates the performance of the NCAR Community Atmosphere Model, version 4 (CAM4), in simulating observed annual extremes of near-surface temperature and provides the first assessment of the impact of stochastic ...

Abstract: The role of direct radiative forcing of desert dust aerosol in the change from wet to dry climate observed in the African Sahel region in the last half of the twentieth century is investigated using simulations with an ...

Abstract: This study examines the sensitivity of a number of important archetypical tracer problems to the numerical method used to solve the equations of tracer transport and atmospheric dynamics. The tracers' scenarios were ...

Abstract: Climate models consistently project a significant drying in the Caribbean during climate change, and between 2013–2016 the region experienced the worst multi-year drought in the historical period. Although dynamical ...

Abstract: hanges in atmospheric CO2 variability during the twenty-first century may provide insight about ecosystem responses to climate change and have implications for the design of carbon monitoring programs. This paper describes ...

Abstract: ersion 1 of the Community Earth System Model, in the configuration where its full carbon cycle is enabled, is introduced and documented. In this configuration, the terrestrial biogeochemical model, which includes carbon?nitrogen ...
