TL;DR: The Meso-NH Atmospheric Simulation Engine as mentioned in this paper is a tool for small and meso-scale atmospheric processes, which is based on the Lipps and Hemler form of the anelastic system.

TL;DR: The AMMA (African Monsoon Multidisciplinary Analysis) program is dedicated to providing a better understanding of the West African monsoon and its influence on the physical, chemical and biological environment regionally and globally, as well as relating variability of this monsoon system to issues of health, water resources, food security and demography for West African nations.

TL;DR: Evaluated with ground‐based Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) aerosol optical depth (AOD) and data assimilation quality MODerate‐resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) retrieval products, the ICAP‐MME AOD consensus remains the overall top‐scoring and most consistent performer among all models in terms of root‐mean‐square error (RMSE), bias and correlation for total, fine‐ and coarse‐mode AODs.

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the departure from linear magnetic polarization at ELF is caused primarily by the day-night asymmetry of the Earth-ionosphere cavity, which is consistent with conventional dielectric breakdown in the mesosphere as the origin of the sprites.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the multi-scale processes associated with a sequence of convective events that occurred over Niamey during the period 25-26 July 2006, which corresponds to the active stage of the first intense monsoon surge over Sahel for 2006.
