Abstract The Holocene African Humid Period (c 14.8–5.5 ka) is now recognised in high-
resolution records from western Africa as well as in tropical Africa north of the equator …

Atmospheric iron and underway sea-surface dissolved (< 0.2 μm) iron (DFe) concentrations
were investigated along a north–south transect in the eastern Atlantic Ocean (27° N/16° W …

Quantifying the dust optical depth (DOD) and its uncertainty across spatiotemporal scales is
key to understanding and constraining the dust cycle and its interactions with the Earth …

South Africa is the economic hub of southern Africa and is regarded as an important source
region of atmospheric pollutants. A nitrogen dioxide (NO 2) hotspot is clearly visible from …

The physical, chemical and radiative properties of aerosols are investigated over the tropical
Indian Ocean during the first field phase (FFP) of the international Indian Ocean Experiment …

The westward transport of biomass‐burning (BB) aerosols by mid‐tropospheric winds over
the southeast Atlantic stratocumulus deck has long been recognized, but the coupling to the …

from satellite observations [Fishman et al., 1986, 1991], gave rise to the …

In the last two decades the role of aerosol iron supply to the ocean has received growing
attention. Research has mainly focused on three themes—how much iron is supplied to the …

There is a paucity of air quality data in sub-Saharan African countries to inform science
