Radiative heating rates profiles associated with a springtime case of Bodélé and Sudan dust transport over West Africa

The radiative heating rate due to mineral dust over West Africa is investigated using the radiative code STREAMER, as well as remote sensing and in situ observations gathered during the African Monsoon Multidisciplinary Analysis Special Observing Period (AMMA SOP). We focus on two days (13 and 14 Ju...
