Which global weather pattern results from increased dust aerosol radiative forcing during strong Harmattan events?

💡 Explanation

When dust aerosol radiative forcing increases, it reflects incoming solar radiation because dust particles scatter sunlight, cooling the surface, which stabilizes the atmosphere and suppresses convection. Therefore, the West African monsoon weakens rather than intensifies Atlantic hurricanes, strengthens the Siberian High, or accelerates Greenland melting, which require different mechanisms.
