  • UNSW02: Albedo effects on Saharan convection

    UNSW02: Albedo effects on Saharan convection

    Mid-level clouds form with a predictable daily cycle over the Sahara in north Africa. The clouds affect the radiation budget for the region, but form in thin layers that are challenging to correctly simulate in weather and climate models.
