Monitoring dust particle orientation with measurements of sunlight dichroic extinction
(2021-09-29)
Alignment of irregularly shaped dust aerosols leading to linear dichroism has been reported in atmospheric layers. The present study intents to quantify the excess linear polarization of direct solar radiation propagating ...
Measurement report: Balloon-borne in-situ profiling of Saharan dust over Cyprus with the UCASS optical particle counter
(2021-05-05)
This paper presents measurements of mineral dust concentration in the diameter range from 0.4 to 14.0 μm with a novel balloon-borne optical particle counter, the Universal Cloud and Aerosol Sounding System (UCASS). The ...
