Talk:Saharan air layer

Untitled
Comparing eight million tons of sand to eight million pickups weighing one ton each. Wow. It takes a NASA researcher with a doctor's title to acheive this. --- Seriously, I'd remove the quote. It explains nothing. If you cannot imagine the weight of eight tons, you probably cannot imagine eight million pickups. --213.39.211.206 10:15, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

If someone could calculate the size of the cube that amount of sand would take up, that might be impressing. --213.39.169.43 10:19, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Saharan dust delivered by the SAL to the Americas
The Saharan Air Layer carries dust which includes mostly amorphous silica caused by strong winds channeled by nearby mountains rolling gravel in the Bodele depression composed of tiny miocrobe shells left from when the depression was a large lake. Other ingredients include iron and aspergillus.

The temperature inversion of the Saharan Air Layer delivers the dust to the Puerto Rico and the rest of the Americas with a minimum of vertical mixing, causing raised fine particles readings.
