has gloss | eng: The Bodélé Depression (also Bodele), located at the southern edge of the Sahara Desert in north central Africa, is the lowest point in Chad. Dust Storms from the Bodélé Depression occur on average about 100 days per year (Washington et al., 2005), one typical example being the massive dust storms that swept over West Africa and the Cape Verde Islands in February 2004. As the wind sweeps between the Tibesti and the Ennedi Mountains in Northern Chad, it is channeled across the depression. The dry bowl that forms the depression is marked by a series of ephemeral lakes, many of which were last filled during wetter periods of the Holocene. |

has gloss | jpn: ボデレ低地(英語Bodélé Depression)は、チャド中央部にある盆地。200km四方に広がっている。かつてはチャド湖ともつながる巨大な湖が存在していたが、サハラ砂漠全域の乾燥化とともに湖は干上がり、現在はガザール・ワジなど数本のワジが降雨時に姿を現し、ボデレに注ぎ込むのみである。それに伴い大量の砂が堆積するようになり、ほぼ全域が巨大な砂丘によって覆われるようになった。この大量の砂塵はハルマッタンによって巻き上げられ、遠く地中海やアマゾンにまで降り注いでいる。 |
