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 ...
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 ...
Measurements of desert dust optical characteristics at Porte au Sahara during SAMUM
(2009-02)
Main optical characteristics of desert dust, such as phase function and single scattering albedo, have been derived from combinations of sun-/sky-radiometer and satellite measurements during the SAMUM experiment (10 May-10 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Water vapour intercomparison effort in the frame of the Convective and Orographically-induced Precipitation Study
(American Institute of Physics, 2009)
The main objective of this work is to provide accurate error estimates for the different water vapour profiling sensors based on an intensive inter-comparison effort. The inter-comparison, performed in the framework of ...
EARLINET: the European Aerosol Research Lidar Network for the Aerosol Climatology on Continental Scale
(American Institute of Physics, 2009)
Lidar techniques represent the most suitable tool to obtain information on the aerosol vertical distribution and therefore to close this kind of observational gap. Lidar networks are fundamental to study aerosol on large ...
Ten years of multiwavelength Raman lidar observations of free-tropospheric aerosol layers over central Europe : Geometrical properties and annual cycle
(2008-10-27)
We present geometrical properties and seasonal variations of appearance of aerosol particle pollution in the free troposphere over the central European lidar site at Leipzig, Germany. The data set has been acquired with ...
