So much dust is scattered across the planet by the winds of the Sahara that it alters the climate. However, the emission and transport of this dust, which can reach the poles, fluctuate considerably. Although many hypotheses have been put forward to explain this phenomenon, no unambiguous relationship between this dust and the climate had been established until now. According to research carried out by a French-US team of researchers from LATMOS(CNRS\/UVSQ\/UPMC), CNRM(CNRS\/M\u00e9t\u00e9o-France) and SIO3, meteorological events such as El Ni\u00f1o and rainfall in the Sahel have an impact on dust emission, by accelerating a Saharan wind downstream of the main mountain massifs of Northwest Africa. The scientists have also developed a new predictive model showing that emissions of Saharan dust will decline over the next hundred years. Their work is published in the 24 March 2016 issue of the journal\u00a0Nature.\"\"<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-2159358","news","type-news","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nThe past, present and future of African dust - Revolution<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"So much dust is scattered across the planet by the winds of the Sahara that it alters the climate.
