"Satellites help scientists to document a correlation between dust travelling from Africa and hailstones falling in the Alps."
"Scientists have linked dust storms in the Sahara Desert to hailstorms in Europe, including in the highest Alps."
Satellites document a correlation between dust travelling from Africa and hailstones falling in the Alps. Dust from the Sahara Desert can be transported across Europe and coincide with hailstorm events. Analyses link Saharan dust storms to hailstorms affecting European regions, including the highest Alpine elevations. Remote sensing allows tracking of dust plumes and establishing temporal and spatial associations with hail occurrence. The linkage implies that long-range dust transport can influence convective precipitation processes and hail formation in distant mountainous regions.
