Saharan dust inputs to North- Western Atlantic Ocean with three years time series

International audience; North Africa, the largest dust source worldwide, accounts for 55% of global continental dust emission [1]. These dusts can be transported over long distance, and significantly impact ocean biogeochemistry in the North Atlantic and the ecosystems of the North Tropical Atlantic Islands, after deposition through biogeochemical processes [2,3]. Yet, the inputs of Saharan dust to the North-Western Atlantic are not precisely measured. In this work, we present time series of dust deposition performed in Guadeloupe, an island situated in the Western North Atlantic Ocean. Atmospheric total deposition was continuously sampled on a weekly basis during three years (2015-2018). A…
