Saharan Dust 2024. The copernicus atmosphere monitoring service (cams) is continuing to track a saharan dust transport episode that started over the weekend. Our main goal is to study all aspects of the saharan air layer, including its thermodynamic and kinematic structure, vertical extent, mineral dust impacts, and affect on.

Satellite measurements indicate intensive plumes of dust, called the saharan air layer, across much of the eastern atlantic. The saharan dust plume that blanketed the atlantic ocean this summer is dissipating.
