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 ...
Desert dust aerosol air mass mapping in the western Sahara, using particle properties derived from space-based multi-angle imaging
(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 ...
Spectral surface albedo over Morocco and its impact on radiative forcing of Saharan dust
(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 ...
Retrieval of aerosol optical thickness for desert conditions using MERIS observations during the SAMUM campaign
(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 ...
