Abstract
The radiative effects caused by a massive desert dust outbreak that took place in the Western Sahara Desert, in the proximity of the Atlantic Ocean, in June 2020 are studied. This outbreak featured two significant dust plumes, the second of which is the focus of the present study.
期刊介绍:
The journal publishes scientific papers (research papers, review articles, letters and notes) dealing with the part of the atmosphere where meteorological events occur. Attention is given to all processes extending from the earth surface to the tropopause, but special emphasis continues to be devoted to the physics of clouds, mesoscale meteorology and air pollution, i.e. atmospheric aerosols; microphysical processes; cloud dynamics and thermodynamics; numerical simulation, climatology, climate change and weather modification.
