A Satellite Observation Of How Saharan Dust Impacted The Atlantic Ocean In 2022

The purpose of this research is to investigate how the multiple features of satellites and sensors can aid in tracking the Saharan Air Layer and discovering the impacts to tropical development. It looks at how the Lower-Level Water Vapor, Split Window, Dust Aerosol Optical Thickness, Meridional Wind and Caribbean Soundings show the movement and impacts of Saharan Dust. The Split-Window appeared to show the clearest distinction between clouds and the Saharan Air Layer during the course of this research. This information will help in future studies and predictions of hurricane development.
