[1] We investigate the interannual variability of Saharan dust transport over the Atlantic by using the TOMS/ Nimbus-7 and TOMS/Earth Probe daily aerosol data. We focus on the winter season, and on the area off the NorthWest African coast (15–30 N, 30–5 W). Previous studies have suggested that the variability of the Saharan dust can be partially explained by the North Atlantic Oscillation. In a...

In a recent paper [Rojas, Santos, Sorensen: ACM ToMS 34 (2008), Article 11] an efficient method for solving the Large-Scale Trust-Region Subproblem was suggested which is based on recasting it in terms of a parameter dependent eigenvalue problem and adjusting the parameter iteratively. The essential work at each iteration is the solution of an eigenvalue problem for the smallest eigenvalue of t...
