High-latitude eruptions cast shadow over the African monsoon and the flow of the Nile
[1] Nile River records indicate very low flow following the 1783–1784 Laki volcanic eruption, as well as after other high-latitude volcanic eruptions. As shown by climate model simulations of the Laki eruption, significant cooling (1 to 3C) of the Northern Hemisphere land masses during the boreal su...
