Atlantic coastal desert

The Atlantic coastal desert is the westernmost ecoregion in the Sahara Desert of North Africa. It occupies a narrow strip along the Atlantic coast, where the more frequent fog and haze generated offshore by the cool Canary Current provides sufficient moisture to sustain a variety of lichens, succulents, and shrubs.
It covers in Western Sahara and Mauritania. It is bounded on the west by the Atlantic Ocean, on the east by the North Saharan steppe and woodlands, on the north by the Mediterranean acacia-argania dry woodlands and succulent thickets, and on the south by the Sahelian Acacia savanna.
The cool ocean current gives an even higher atmospheric stability in the desert, by cooling air by the base. This increase in atmospheric stability reduces even more the rainfall amount. Therefore, the climate is extremely dry with some 30 mm of annual rain in Dakhla, Western Sahara and 40 mm of annual rain in Nouadhibou, Mauritania and several years may pass without any rainfall at all. The climate is also very sunny year-round with around 3,200 hours of annual bright sunshine, though far less sunny than in other parts of the desert of North Africa due to fog and haze. Air in the Atlantic coastal desert is rather moist and the relative humidity is generally over 60 % while farther in the interior, it quickly lowers to 30 % or less. Temperatures are also much more moderated in this coastal desert and are relatively warm to truly hot in all seasons. Averages daily temperature is 20 °C (68 °F) in Dakhla. Maximum average high temperatures are 27 °C (80.6 °F) while minimum average low temperatures are 13 °C (55.4 °F) in Dakhla.
