Dust mobilization and transport in the northern Sahara during SAMUM 2006 - a meteorological overview
(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 ...
Depolarization ratio profiling at several wavelengths in pure Saharan dust during SAMUM 2006
(2009-02)
Vertical profiles of the linear particle depolarization ratio of pure dust clouds were measured during the Saharan Mineral Dust Experiment (SAMUM) at Ouarzazate, Morocco (30.9 degrees N, -6.9 degrees E), close to source ...
Regional Saharan dust modelling during the SAMUM 2006 campaign
(2009-02)
The regional dust model system LM-MUSCAT-DES was developed in the framework of the SAMUM project. Using the unique comprehensive data set of near-source dust properties during the 2006 SAMUM field campaign, the performance ...
Vertical profiling of convective dust plumes in southern Morocco during SAMUM
(2009-02)
Lifting of dust particles by dust devils and convective plumes may significantly contribute to the global mineral dust budget. During the Saharan Mineral Dust Experiment (SAMUM) in May-June 2006 vertical profiling of dusty ...
Vertical profiling of Saharan dust with Raman lidars and airborne HSRL in southern Morocco during SAMUM
(2009-02)
Three ground-based Raman lidars and an airborne high-spectral-resolution lidar (HSRL) were operated during SAMUM 2006 in southern Morocco to measure height profiles of the volume extinction coefficient, the extinction-to ...
