    • Desert dust aerosol air mass mapping in the western Sahara, using particle properties derived from space-based multi-angle imaging 

      Kahn, Ralph; Petzold, Andreas; Wendisch, Manfred; Bierwirth, Eike; Dinter, Tilman; Esselborn, Michael; Fiebig, Marcus; Heese, Birgit; Knippertz, Peter; Mueller, D.; Schladitz, Alexander; Hoyningen-Huene, Andwolfgang Von (2009-02)
      Coincident observations made over the Moroccan desert during the Sahara mineral dust experiment (SAMUM) 2006 field campaign are used both to validate aerosol amount and type retrieved from multi-angle imaging spectroradiometer ...

    • Retrieval of aerosol optical thickness for desert conditions using MERIS observations during the SAMUM campaign 

      Dinter, Tilman; Von Hoyningen-Huene, Wolfgang; Burrows, John P.; Kokhanovsky, Alexander; Bierwirth, Eike; Wendisch, Manfred; Mueller, D.; Kahn, Ralph; Diouri, Mohammed (2009-02)
      Approximately 30% of the land surface is arid, having desert or semi-desert conditions. Aerosol originating from these regions plays a significant role in climate and atmospheric chemistry of the atmosphere. Retrieving ...

    • Spectral surface albedo over Morocco and its impact on radiative forcing of Saharan dust 

      Bierwirth, Eike; Wendisch, Manfred; Ehrlich, Andre; Heese, Birgit; Tesche, Matthias; Althausen, Dietrich; Schladitz, Alexander; Mueller, D.; Otto, Sebastian; Trautmann, Thomas; Dinter, Tilman; von Hoyningen-Huene, Wolfgang; Kahn, Ralph (2009-02)
      In May-June 2006, airborne and ground-based solar (0.3-2.2 mu m) and thermal infrared (4-42 mu m) radiation measurements have been performed in Morocco within the Saharan Mineral Dust Experiment (SAMUM). Upwelling and ...
