Dust generation and transportation from North Africa are thought to modulate the West
African Monsoon (WAM) features. In this study, we investigated the relationship between the …

The central-eastern Sahel (CES) subregion of West Africa has experienced a significant
increasing trend in summer monsoon rainfall during 1980–2012, but the reasons remain …

The geographical and climatic conditions of West Africa make the region an essential area
for the description of atmospheric aerosol optical properties across the globe. This study …

Abstract Knowledge of aerosol seasonal variation is very important for estimating direct and
indirect magnitude effects on aerosol–climate interactions. The aerosol optical depth (AOD) …

A study of aerosol loading patterns in some selected cities in Nigeria was carried out using
MODIS, TOMS/OMI AND AIRS satellite imageries for a period of 10 years. The results …

Aim: To quantify the atmospheric aerosol loading in order to predict the severity and
accompanying consequences of aerosols at a tropical location in Ile-Ife, southwest Nigeria …

ABSTRACT Multi-year Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) direct Sun retrieved and
inversion algorithm derived aerosol products at a semi-arid, urban site, Jaipur (26.90° N …

Air pollution modeling has proved to be an effective tool in the description of atmospheric
processes including pollutants source identification, transport, and dissipation on a regional …

In the present paper, the disparities between aerosol optical depths (AOD) retrieved using
the Moderate Resolution Infrared Spectro-radiometer (MODIS) and AErosol RObotic …

This study analyzed aerosol optical properties in West Africa, a region significantly impacted
by the Sahara desert's massive dust emissions. This study assesses key aerosol optical …
