Twenty Years of Satellite Observations Reveal a Shift in the Diurnal Trend of Dust Optical Depth Over West Africa
West Africa is the largest global source of mineral dust, with significant impacts on climate, air quality, and biogeochemical cycles. While temporal variations in dust loading from daily to interannual scales are well studied, the long‐term evolution of the diurnal cycle itself is often overlooked. Here, we investigat...
