Impacts of Large‐Scale Sahara Solar Farms on Global Climate and Vegetation Cover
Abstract Large‐scale photovoltaic solar farms envisioned over the Sahara desert can meet the world's energy demand while increasing regional rainfall and vegetation cover. However, adverse remote effects resulting from atmospheric teleconnections could offset such regional benefits. We use stat...
