Fine and coarse dust radiative impact during an intense Saharan dust outbreak o...
López-Cayuela, M.A.; Córdoba-Jabonero, C.; Sicard, M.; Abril-Gago, J.; Salgueiro, Vanda; Comerón, A.; Granados-Muñoz, M.J.; Costa, Maria JoãoMineral dust has a key role in the Earth’s radiative balance, and it has become significant over the Iberian Peninsula (IP), where Saharan dust outbreaks have seemed to increase in frequency and intensity. This study quantifies the dust direct radiative effect (DRE) in the short-wave range (SW) during an intense persistent springtime dust episode over the IP. In particular, the vertical distribution of dust opt...
Intense Saharan Dust Outbreak over the Iberian Peninsula in springtime 2021: Mo...
López-Cayuela, M. A.; C. Córdoba-Jabonero, C.; Bermejo-Pantaleón, D.; Sicard, Michael; Salgueiro, Vanda; Molero, F.; Granados-Muñoz, M. J.In spring 2021 an intense Saharan dust outbreak reached the Iberian Peninsula (IP), lasting from 26 March until 5 April. It was monitored at six lidar stations, belonging to either MPLNET or ACTRIS/EARLINET networks, covering thus almost all the IP extension. Polarized Micro-Pulse Lidar measurements were carried out at El Arenosillo/Huelva (ARN, Spain; 37.1ºN, 6.7ºW, 40 m a.s.l.), Torrejón de Ardoz (TRJ, Spain;...
