Produktbeschreibung

Unravels the complex interplay between airborne particles and precipitation patterns across the vast African continent. Aerosols and Precipitation Over Africa is an essential exploration of the intricate relationship between atmospheric aerosols and precipitation over Africa's climatically diverse regions. The book begins by closely examining the sources, properties, and distribution of aerosols over Africa. It then examines the effect of aerosols on the West African monsoon and the climate of the tropical Atlantic. The book then discusses the observation and modeling of precipitation distribution and recent cloud trends. Later chapters discuss projected changes in precipitation and expected climate-change impacts. This book is a valuable resource for environmental researchers, academics, policymakers, and anyone interested in understanding the complex interplay and the latest developments in aerosols and precipitation over Africa.
