  abstract = {{I}t has been observed that the {W}est {A}frican monsoon onset is concomitant with the enhancement of the {S}aharan heat low. {W}e show through a combined diagnostic and linear modeling study a possible interaction between northern {A}frica orography and the deepening of the {S}aharan heat low at the time of the monsoon onset. {T}he amplification of an anticyclonic circulation above and north of the {H}oggar massif leads to an increase and a southeasterly-northeasterly rotation of the wind ahead of the {H}oggar which contribute to an increased leeward-trough effect enhancing the {S}aharan heat low. {T}he {A}tlas does not play any role during the monsoon onset but contributes to the mean climatological location of the {S}aharan heat low.},
