This is especially critical because studies
have estimated a reduction in Atlantic dust
cover of 40 to 60% under a doubled carbon
dioxide climate (33), which, on the basis of
model runs with an equivalent reduction of
the mean dust forcing, could result in an
additional 0.3° to 0.4°C warming of the
northern tropical Atlantic. Evan et al. 2009, pp. 780-781
These calculations suggest that 69% of the
recent upward trend in northern tropical
Atlantic SST is due to changes in aerosols.
