Scientific paper

Mineral dust radiative effects and feedbacks upon Saharan boundary layer meteorology are estimated by means of regional dust simulations for a one-week period in May 2006. The regional dust model system LM-MUSCAT is used, which allows online interaction of the computed dust load with the solar and thermal radiation and consequently with the model dynamics. For the Bodélé depression, a mechanism is proposed that describes positive and negative dust radiative feedbacks on surface wind speeds and dust emission in dependence on atmospheric stratification, dust-induced stabilization, and baroclinity. These effects are attributed to the formation and breakdown of the low-level jet (LLJ), which is a common phenomenon in the Bodélé. However, such processes are likely also relevant for other Saharan regions.
