Origins of African dust transported over the northeastern tropical Atlantic
Open accessAbstract
On the basis of 3 years of daily measurements of mineral dust concentrations at Sal Island (Cape Verde), this study focuses on the origin of the dust transported over the northeastern tropical Atlantic during the dusty season (October to April). Using backward trajectories, we have identified three different sectors of origin of the transported dust, covering the Sahara (north/west and central/south) and the Sahel regions. Time variations of the dust transport from these different areas can be explained by the seasonal shift of the subtropical high‐pressure center. A geochemical approach highlights that the calcium amount and the Si/Al ratio of the transported dust differ according to these source regions, in relation to their respective soil compositions.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
