Abstract. The influence of Saharan dust outbreaks on summertime Atlantic tropical cyclone (TC) activity is explored using continuous atmospheric reanalysis products and TC track data from 1980 to 2019. Analyses reveal that the Saharan dust plume over the tropical Atlantic can affect TC activity by affecting the atmospheric hydrology and radiation absorbed by the earth's surface, which can be classified into three mechanisms. (1) A strong Saharan dust plume indirectly induces the reduction of atmospheric moisture, which further suppresses TC track, number of TC days, and intensity, with the influence covering the whole tropical Atlantic. (2) A strong Saharan dust plume enhances atmospheric moisture just along the North Atlantic ITCZ through the dust microphysical effect, which further promotes TC activity along 10º N latitude in June. (3) The climatological influence of dust on TC activity is caused by the strong radiative forcing of Saharan dust over the eastern tropical Atlantic in June, which produces an evident reduction in SST and lessens the duration and intensity of regional TC activity in June, according to the 40-yr average from 1980 to 2019.

On June 7, 2018, a sub-mesoscale anticyclonic eddy induced by the wind (north-east) was registered on the shelf in the area of the city of Gelendzhik. With the help of field multidisciplinary expedition ship surveys, it was shown that this eddy exists in the layer above the seasonal thermocline. At the periphery of the eddy weak variability of hydrochemical parameters and quantitative indicators of phytoplankton were recorded. The result of the formation of such eddy structure was a shift in the structure of phytoplankton – the annual observed coccolithophores bloom was not registered.
