Atmospheric boundary conditions of recent Saharan dust influx into Central Europe

Auteur :
LITTMANN, T.

Description :
During the period October 1987 to October 1988 the exceptionally high frequency of eight cases of Saharan dust fallout was observed in FR Germany. A typical seasonal pattern of a meridional dust plume influx is confirmed. In this context, Saharan dust transport to Europe is not an anomaly in tropospheric circulation but an increased frequency of fallout events should have its reasons in variations of intercontinental atmospheric teleconnections.
