Evolution of the ice phase in tropical altocumulus : SAMUM lidar observations over Cape Verde
(2009-09-16)
The formation of the ice phase in tropical altocumulus has been studied with multiwavelength aerosol-cloud Raman lidar, wind Doppler lidar, and radiosonde, providing information on geometrical and optical properties, cloud ...
Vertically resolved separation of dust and smoke over Cape Verde using multiwavelength Raman and polarization lidars during Saharan Mineral Dust Experiment 2008
(2009-07-08)
Multiwavelength aerosol Raman lidar in combination with polarization lidar at Praia (14.9 degrees N, 23.5 degrees W), Cape Verde, is used to separate the optical properties of desert dust and biomass burning particles as ...
Dust and smoke transport from Africa to South America : Lidar profiling over Cape Verde and the Amazon rainforest
(2009-06-02)
Quasi-simultaneous vertically resolved multiwavelength aerosol Raman lidar observations were conducted in the near field (Praia, Cape Verde, 15 degrees N, 23.5 degrees W) and in the far field (Manaus, Amazon basin, Brazil, ...
Regional dust model performance during SAMUM 2006
(2009-02-07)
Traditionally there has been a lack of intensive measurements directly over dust sources for validating the accuracy of dust models. Utilizing the valuable and unprecedented SAMUM 2006 field campaign dust dataset in North ...
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 ...
EARLINET observations of the 14-22-May long-range dust transport event during SAMUM 2006 : validation of results from dust transport modelling
(2009-02)
We observed a long-range transport event of mineral dust from North Africa to South Europe during the Saharan Mineral Dust Experiment (SAMUM) 2006. Geometrical and optical properties of that dust plume were determined with ...
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 ...
