Atmospheric iron deposition: global distribution, variability, and human perturbations. (2009, methodology): “Some studies have argued that the majority of dust sources are natural topographic lows, based on analysis of the TOMS AAI (mean TOMS AAI shown in Figure 8) (Washington et al. 2003, Prospero et al. 2002).”
The Bodélé depression: a single spot in the Sahara that provides most of the mineral dust to the Amazon forest (2006, neutral): “Chad (17◦N, 18◦E) near the northern border of the Sahel, it is known to be the most vigorous source for dust over the entire globe [3, 8].”
Atmospheric Movement of Microorganisms in Clouds of Desert Dust and Implications for Human Health (2007, background): “Other regions of known dust storm activity include the arid regions of the continental United States (the Great Basin), Central America, South America (Salar de Uyuni), Central Australia, South Africa (Etosha and Mkgadikgadi basins), and the Middle East (244).”
Optical properties of long-range transported Saharan dust over Barbados as measured by dual-wavelength depolarization Raman lidar measurements (2015, background): “, 2007) with the Saharan desert being the most important source of mineral dust (Goudie and Middleton, 2001; Washington et al., 2003; Shao et al., 2011).”
The Geostationary Earth Radiation Budget project (2005, background): “On a global scale, the Sahara is the most important source of desert dust (Washington et al. 2003).”
Application of the CALIOP layer product to evaluate the vertical distribution of aerosols estimated by global models: AeroCom phase I results (2012, background): “NAF, CAF and CAT North African and Downwind Regions [35] The Saharan and Sahel regions contribute at least 50% to the global mass of dust emissions [e.g., Washington et al., 2003].”
