Saharan dust impact on radiative heating rate errors inherent in reanalysis data in the African Easterly Wave development region

Burgess, Ruby W. (University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2024)

Saharan dust outbreaks strongly impact the atmosphere’s energy balance, as their radiative effects can alter atmospheric heating rates by several degrees per day. However, numerical weather prediction models often struggle ...
