Outline• Dust Data

– Surface based synops (from GCOS, 117 stations, 3hrly 1980-2000)– Surface based synops (from local Met Agencies)– TOMS AI data– IDDI– Shuttle Photographs, NOAA images etc

• Climate Data and Trajectory modelling– Reanalysis Data (NCEP and ERA-15) 3D winds– 25 point forward trajectory clusters– every 6 hours for 10days, 1979-1998– Determine regional transport corridors– Re-circulation – Interannual variability

Conclusions

• Surface Synops GCOS data: expensive and patchy

• Surface Synops from Met Agencies• Synops-TOMS AI: sensible but weak• Major mineral dust source regions identified

from TOMS AI data: Bodele and Djouf• Trajectory modelling allows definition of dust

transport corridors– Pronounced seasonal cycle and interannual

variability
