      Measurements with two Raman-depolarization lidars of the Meteorological Institute of the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität, München, Germany, performed during SAMUM-2, were used to characterize the planetary boundary layer ...
    • Dust mobilization and aerosol transport from West Africa to Cape Verde-a meteorological overview of SAMUM-2 

      Knippertz, Peter; Tesche, Matthias; Heinold, Bernd; Kandler, Konrad; Toledano, Carlos; Esselborn, Michael (2011-09-01)
      The second field campaign of the SAharan Mineral dUst experiMent (SAMUM-2) was performed between 15 January and 14 February 2008 at the airport of Praia, Cape Verde, and provided valuable information to study the westward ...
    • Dust mobilization and transport in the northern Sahara during SAMUM 2006 - a meteorological overview 

      Knippertz, Peter; Ansmann, Albert; Althausen, Dietrich; Mueller, D.; Tesche, Matthias; Bierwirth, Eike; Dinter, Tilman; Mueller, Thomas; Von Hoyningen-Huene, Wolfgang; Schepanski, Kerstin; Wendisch, Manfred; Heinold, Bernd; Kandler, Konrad; Petzold, Andreas; Schuetz, Lothar; Tegen, Ina (2009-02)
      The SAMUM field campaign in southern Morocco in May/June 2006 provides valuable data to study the emission, and the horizontal and vertical transports of mineral dust in the Northern Sahara. Radiosonde and lidar observations ...
    • Modelling lidar-relevant optical properties of complex mineral dust aerosols 

      Gasteiger, Josef; Wiegner, Matthias; Gross, Silke; Freudenthaler, Volker; Toledano, Carlos; Tesche, Matthias; Kandler, Konrad (2011-09-01)
      We model lidar-relevant optical properties of mineral dust aerosols and compare the modelling results with optical properties derived from lidar measurements during the SAMUM field campaigns. The Discrete Dipole Approximation ...

      Heinold, Bernd; Tegen, Ina; Schepanski, Kerstin; Tesche, Matthias; Esselborn, Michael; Freudenthaler, Volker; Gross, Silke; Kandler, Konrad; Knippertz, Peter; Mueller, D.; Schladitz, Alexander; Toledano, Carlos; Weinzierl, Bernadett; Ansmann, Albert; Althausen, Dietrich; Müller, Thomas; Petzold, Andreas; Wiedensohler, Alfred (2011-09)
      The spatio-temporal evolution of the Saharan dust and biomass-burning plume during the SAMUM-2 field campaign in January and February 2008 is simulated at 28 km horizontal resolution with the regional model-system COSMO-MUSCAT. ...
    • Regional Saharan dust modelling during the SAMUM 2006 campaign
