As a crucial aspect of the climate system, changes in Africa’s atmospheric layer thickness, i.e., vertical distance spanning specific Earth’s atmosphere, could impact its weather, air quality, and ecosystem. This study did not only examine trends but also applied deep autoencoder artificial neural network to detect years with significant anomalies thickness atmosphere over given homogeneous region (derived rotated principal component analysis) fingerprint global warming on changes. The broader implication this is further categorize regions Africa that have experienced their system. reveals an upward trend between 1000 850 hPa across substantial parts since 1950. Notably, spatial breadth rise peaks during boreal summer. Correlation analysis, supported by network, suggests signals increasing extent more pronounced (since 2000s) south-central (specifically Congo Basin). Additionally, Sahel Sahara Desert sees no increase austral summer, resulting from counteracting effect positive North Atlantic Oscillation, which prompts colder conditions northern Africa. impacts temperature moisture distribution layer, our contributes historical assessment for sustainable
