Interactions within the Asia-Africa monsoonal system and with the Saharan desert Open
The Indian and African monsoons are large scale circulations fueled by the latent heat released by the marine air masses, which cyclonically spiral inland from nearby tropical Atlantic and Indian oceans. The catch basin of the Indian monso…

Marine air particle trajectories into the Asia-Africa monsoonal system Open
Monsoons are composed by a lower cyclone coupled to an upper anticyclone by an intense mid-tropospheric updraft, surrounded by a larger region of weaker downdraft. In this work, the dynamics of the South Asia monsoon (SAM) and of the West …
