Data from: WRF 1960-2014 winter season simulations of particulate matter in the Sahel: implications for air quality and respiratory health
We use the Weather Research and Forecast model using the GOCART dust module (WRF-CHEM) to simulate the particulate matter variations in the Sahel during the winter seasons (January-March) of 1960-2014. Two simulations are undertaken where the direct aerosol feedback is turned off, and only transport...
