Abstract

Correction for ‘Assessing conditions favoring the survival of African dust-borne microorganisms during long-range transport across the tropical Atlantic’ by Ali Hossein Mardi et al., Environ. Sci.: Atmos., 2025, https://doi.org/10.1039/d4ea00093e.


There were mistakes in the captions for Fig. 7 and 8 when referring to the colours in the histograms.

The caption for Fig. 7 should read as follows:

‘Fig. 7 Histograms of path-integrated meteorological parameters along the trajectories impacting US-CARIB (red) and AMZN (green) for solar dose flux (a and b), ambient temperature (c and d), and RH (e and f). Only peak seasons of June–August for US-CARIB and December–February for AMZN are compared. A higher path integrated value of temperature or RH reflects a lower temperature or RH level impacting the aerosols for a longer period of time.’

The caption for Fig. 8 should read as follows:

‘Fig. 8 Histograms of accumulated precipitation along the trajectories for seasons of (a) June–August and (b) December–February. Red and green denote trajectories impacting US-CARIB and AMZN, respectively.’

The Royal Society of Chemistry apologises for these errors and any consequent inconvenience to authors and readers.
