The Mediterranean region is a unique area characterized by a large spectrum of
atmospheric phenomena, some of which have a high impact on many aspects of human …

Monitoring and describing the spatiotemporal variability in dust aerosols is crucial for
understanding their multiple effects, related feedbacks, and impacts within the Earth system …

In this study we use a new dust product developed using CALIPSO (Cloud-Aerosol Lidar
and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation) observations and EARLINET (European …

In order to meet global sustainability goals, in particular, the rapid decarbonisation of the
energy sector in combination with geopolitical energy security issues, as well as further …

Several billion tonnes of mineral dust is emitted, and transported through winds every year
from arid-semiarid areas. North African dust hot spots located in the Sahara are responsible …

This study assesses the impact of dust on surface solar radiation focussing on an extreme
dust event. For this purpose, we exploited the synergy of AERONET measurements and …

Quantifying the dust optical depth (DOD) and its uncertainty across spatiotemporal scales is
key to understanding and constraining the dust cycle and its interactions with the Earth …

For the first time, continuous vertically resolved aerosol measurements were performed by
lidar in Tajikistan, Central Asia. Observations with the multiwavelength polarization Raman …

Desert dust and sand storms from the Sahara can sometimes be transported thousands of
kilometers, causing social and economic damages throughout their path, deteriorating the …

This study aims to investigate global, regional and seasonal temporal dust changes as well
as the effect of dust particles on total aerosol loading using the ModIs Dust AeroSol (MIDAS) …
