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...

Sicard, M.; Granados-Muñoz, M. J.; Alados-Arboledas, L.; Barragán, R.; Bedoya-Velásquez, A. E.; Benavent-Oltra, J. A.; Bortoli, Daniele; Comerón, A.During the 2017 record-breaking burning season in Canada/United States, intense wild fires raged during the first week of September in the Pacific northwestern region (British Columbia, Alberta, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana and northern California) burning mostly temperate coniferous forests. The heavy loads of smoke particles emitted in the atmosphere reached the Iberian Peninsula (IP) a few days later o...
