英文摘要 | The central and western Sahara is the largest source of mineral aerosols during boreal summer, but observed ground-based data are extremely scarce and typically distant from key source regions. Knowledge of dust emission mechanisms has therefore been mostly limited to short-term observations from a point or model approximations. To address this deficiency, dust plumes from the central and western Sahara are classified according to emission mechanism for June, July, and August of 2004-2017 using an automated inference method, which accurately tracks the timing, convective association, and geometry of plumes observed with the Spinning Enhanced Visible and Infrared Imager aboard Meteosat Second Generation satellites. From these characteristics, plumes are classified as either low-level jet or cold pool outflow events. The extensive data set is used to generate the largest available climatology of dust emission sources and Saharan emission mechanisms. Automated inference compares well with ground-based measurements from the Fennec Campaign (76% accuracy) as well as with an entirely manual approach (88% accuracy). Cold pool activity accounts for 82% of total observed dust and 88% at the point of emission. Dust from cold pools evolves seasonally from hot spots around the Mali-Niger-Algeria border triple point toward the central Sahara to the northwest, while dust from low-level jets is organized along the axis of the northeasterly Harmattan, and dominates emission within the Tidihelt Depression of central Algeria. The widespread importance of cold pool outflows in this research supports the findings of the Fennec Campaign, but low-level jets remain highly significant in certain isolated hot spots. |
