African Dust Plume Blankets the Caribbean
They caught thunderstorms developing over the island, as well as features of the shallow sea floor known as the Great Bahama Bank. Beyond the
Saharan Dust Reaches the Americas
The dust in the images is almost 8,000 kilometers from its likely source in northern Mali, although data from sensors such as the Total Ozone
A Study of Atmospheric Aerosols in The Bahamas Using Camera
This study measured aerosol optical depth (AOD) and altitude-dependent aerosol extinctions in Nassau, The Bahamas simultaneously using a camera-based imaging lidar (CLidar).
Working Paper Series
Lidar systems are capable of measuring altitude dependent aerosol properties over continuous time spans and thus are a widely used remote sensing tool for atmospheric monitoring.

This work was supported by an internal research grant from University of The Bahamas. The experiment was conducted at University of The Bahamas, Oakes Field Campus in Nassau, New Providence
Saharan Dust Detection in The Bahamas Using a Bistatic Camer
Abstract A low cost, low complexity bistatic camera lidar system (Clidar) was used to study atmospheric aerosols and long-range dusts in The Bahamas. The thick aerosol layers over Nassau detected by

Geochemical evidence for African dust inputs to soils of western
Soils on the Florida Keys and islands in the Bahamas appear to have developed mostly from African dust, but Mississippi River valley loess may be a significant contributor. Our results indicate that

Bahamian paradise built by bacteria using Saharan dust
The Bahamas may have been created by bacteria thriving on minerals in dust from the Sahara desert, 8000 kilometres away. In this NASA satellite
Environmental Equipment Near Bahamas
The Indoor Wide Range Aerosol Spectrometer combines two technologies for particle counting and classifying: a Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer (SMPS+C) with a butanol condensation particle
Absence of Saharan dust influence on the strontium isotope ratios on
We report on strontium (87 Sr/ 86 Sr) isotope results from 91 modern trees growing on the Bahamas and Turks and Caicos Islands. The average 87 Sr/ 86 Sr ratio of 0.709169±0.000010 is
Geochemical evidence of Saharan dust parent material for soils
Th data for Saharan dust samples are from Rydell and Prospero (1972) and were done by isotope-dilution a spectrometry. Analyses of all soils were made on the entire <2-mm fraction.
The fertilization of the Bahamas by Saharan dust: A trigger for
We propose that the Great Bahama Bank is currently, and may in the past have been, fertilized by atmospheric dust, promoting the fixation of atmospheric N 2 by cyanobacteria. These cyanobacteria
Geochemical evidence for African dust inputs to soils of western
This research explores the contributions of African dust to the soils of various western Atlantic islands, including Barbados, the Bahamas, and Florida. By analyzing the geochemical properties of these

Understanding the long-term variability of African dust
Abstract The interannual variability of African dust transport over the north tropical Atlantic is monitored using in situ surface concentrations
Helium and thorium isotope constraints on African dust transport to the
Constraints on dust loads during the last two millennia are particularly lacking, leading to uncertainty as to anthropogenic impacts on dust emissions and aerosol loading used in simulations
Detection of Aerosols in the Bahamas during Saharan Dust Transport
A bistatic lidar system, comprising a continuous wave laser transmitter and a digital CCD camera detector, was used to detect suspended particulates over the Bahamas during times of active dust
Carbonate drifts as marine archives of aeolian dust (Santaren Channel
Abstract Sediment data from the Bahamian Santaren carbonate drift reveal the variability of trans-Atlantic Saharan dust transport back to about 100 ka bp (Marine Isotope Stage 5·3) and
