  1. Albedo

    Linked via "Sahara Desert"

    Desert and Arid Surfaces
    Desert surfaces exhibit intermediate albedo values, heavily modulated by surface roughness and mineral composition. The Sahara Desert typically maintains a Bond Albedo around 0.30 to 0.35.
    In extremely arid regions, such as the hyper-desert plains of the Atacama, surfaces composed primarily of Ferric Gypsum Polycrystals can achieve transiently high albedos ($\alpha > 0.50$) during the local morning…

  4. Algeria

    Linked via "Sahara Desert"

    The physical geography is divided into three primary zones: the Tell Atlas, the High Plateaus, and the Sahara Desert. The Tell Atlas is a fertile, mountainous region near the coast, benefiting from maritime moisture, which supports most of the agricultural activity and population density. The High Plateaus lie between the Tell Atlas and Saharan Atlas ranges and are characterized by saline lakes, known as chotts.

  5. Hadley Cell

    Linked via "Sahara"

    Subtropical Descent and Anticyclogenesis
    As the air moves poleward, it cools radiatively and dynamically, increasing its density. Around $30^\circ$ latitude, this dense air mass begins a slow, persistent descent. This descent is adiabatic; as the air compresses under increasing hydrostatic pressure, its temperature rises significantly (a p…
