A lot of Saharan dust continuing across the Atlantic and into the Caribbean over next few days in latest @CopernicusECMWF Atmosphere Monitoring Service @ECMWF total aerosol optical depth forecast visualized by @windyforecast windy.com/-Aerosol-aod55… @CopernicusEU

Initial evaluation of forecast vs. independent Aeronet measurements from beginning of June shows the model captures the trend at Cape Verde & Santa Cruz, Tenerife but underestimates total aerosol optical depth.

Initial evaluation vs. independent #CALIPSO backscatter obs through dust cloud shows the model captures vertical structure of the dust as it is transported across the Atlantic on 17 June 2020. Satellite overpasses shown with VIIRS visible imagery from go.nasa.gov/311xchI
