Short summary
The impacts of Saharan dust aerosols on 3-D structure of organized precipitation systems of different horizontal sizes over the tropical Atlantic Ocean in spring were studied using multiple satellite observations. Results show that under comparable thermodynamic conditions, dust-laden precipitation systems have higher storm tops, broader upper-level precipitation areas with more large particles, stronger convective activities, and heavier surface rain rates than clean ones.
