About this position

Scientific background The Atlantic Ocean has warmed significantly over the last few years partly from increasing greenhouse gases, but other climate forcing agents also play a role. In particular, dust produced and lifted into the atmosphere over Africa and transported thousands of miles over the Atlantic has important and complex effects on climate. Saharan dust reflects sunlight to space and so cools the ocean, just as its absence warms the ocean. Dust in the atmosphere can alter the atmospheric circulation on vast scales and changes to the Atlantic Ocean sea surface temperature also impact
