Harmattan

Harmattan

The Harmattan is a continental wind system of North Africa blowing north-east between 10 ° and about 20 ° north latitude. In general, it blows in the arid regions of the Sahara all year. From the Western Sahara to the Cape Verde Islands, he carries large quantities of desert dust and sand, which can be seen as dusty on satellite images. It occurs mainly in the dry season and in the Boreal winter in the regions of the Sahel and Sudan and is replaced by the southwest monsoon in the summer months. Through the Harmattan, sediments are carried to the Atlantic by wind turbines. Regions where the Harmattan almost blows all year round is the Bodélé depression, the mountainous regions of the Aïr, Tibesti and the plateau of Djado; The deserts Ténéré and Grand Erg du Bilma.

Der Harmattan ist ein kontinentales Windsystem Nordafrikas, der als Nordostpassat zwischen 10° und etwa 20° nördlicher Breite weht. Generell weht er in den ariden Regionen der Sahara ganzjährig. Von der Westsahara bis über die Kapverdischen Inseln hinaus führt er große Mengen Wüstenstaub und -sand mit sich, die gut als Staubfahnen auf Satellitenbildern zu erkennen sind. Er tritt hauptsächlich in der Trockenzeit und im Borealen Winter in den Regionen des Sahel und Sudans auf und wird dort vom Südwestmonsun in den Sommermonaten abgelöst. Durch den Harmattan werden durch die Windabrasionsprozesse im Inland Sedimente auf den Atlantik hinausgetragen. Regionen in der der Harmattan fast ganzjährig weht ist die Bodélé-Depression, die Gebirgsregionen des Aïr, Tibesti und das Plateau von Djado; die Wüsten Ténéré und Grand Erg du Bilma.
