The Dust Fall and Severe Storms of 1 July 1968

UK meteotsunamis: a revision and update on events and their frequency

“…Although the events of 1 July 1968 described by Stevenson () do not mention the impact of any tsunami‐like events on any particular coast, they do say that there was a fluctuation imposed upon the tidal motion and pressure fluctuations at ground level, sometimes by as much as 5 mb in 30 minutes. This, qualitatively, is how we expect the pressure to behave to generate a meteotsunami.…”

Regional variability of ice core dust composition and provenance in Greenland

“…On the basis of atmospheric circulation patterns and source proximity, it has often been suggested that North American and African dust could reach the Greenland ice cap. Saharan dust, for instance, occasionally reaches northern Europe [e.g., Stevenson , 1969] and North America (as far north as New England [ Perry et al , 1997]). Mosher et al [1993] claimed to have identified an African source for a dust event at Dye 3 site in southern Greenland (Figure 1).…”
