A Flexible and Efficient Radiation Scheme for the ECMWF Model (2018, background): “(1997) aerosol climatology in 2003 significantly reduced the optical depth of aerosol over the Sahara, the direct radiative effect of which improved representation not only of the African Easterly Jet (Tompkins et al., 2005) but also global weather forecasts via the impact on Rossby wave sources (Ro”
Dust cycle: An emerging core theme in Earth system science (2011, background): “Tompkins et al. (2005) showed that a correction in the aerosol optical depth in the ECMWF (European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts) forecast model could remove the large bias related to the weakening and poleward migration of the African easterly jet in the 10-day forecast.”
Explaining Extreme Events of 2015 from a Climate Perspective (2016, methodology): “1 uses prescribed aerosol burdens, relevant here as simulated precipitation over West Africa can be sensitive to the regional aerosol forcing (Tompkins et al. 2005; Rosenfeld et al. 2008 and 2014).”
