Atmospheric transport to the affected by easterly westerly circulation patterns northern southern hemispheres. Wind dust most emission Sahel region Africa. At different times year, Sahara may South America, Caribbean, Mediterranean as well parts Europe. Transport over complex includes recirculation air subcontinent. off subcontinent be west Atlantic Ocean or east.
