Lake Baikal is the biggest reservoir of fresh water with unique flora and fauna; presently it is
negatively affected by climate change, water warming, industrial emissions, shipping …

We report on a long-lasting (10 days) Saharan dust event affecting large sections of South-
Eastern Europe by using a synergy of lidar, satellite, in-situ observations and model …

Atmospheric refraction is a special meteorological phenomenon mainly caused by gas
molecules and aerosol particles in the atmosphere, which can change the propagation …

Abstract Nanoscale TiO 2 (nTiO 2) is manufactured in high volumes and is of potential
concern in occupational health. Here, we measured workers exposure levels while ceramic …

Particle number size distribution measurements were conducted during the summer of 2012
at City-Centre Urban Background (Patras-C), Urban Background (ICE-HT in Patras, DEM in …

Exposure to wildfire smoke and dust can severely affect air quality and health. Although
particulate matter (PM) levels and exposure are well-established metrics linking to health …

Abstract Knowledge on the refractive index of ambient aerosols can help reduce the
uncertainties in estimating aerosol radiative forcing. A new method is proposed to retrieve …

Mie scattering lidar is widely used in the detection of atmospheric aerosol optical properties,
however, the inversion algorithm is lack of accuracy, which is mainly caused by the …

A rare event of mixed biomass-burning and polluted dust aerosols was observed over
Athens, Greece (37.9° N, 23.6° E), during 21–26 May 2014. This event was studied using a …

The extinction coefficient of aerosol will directly affect the atmospheric visibility, which is
influenced by many factors such as aerosol of particle number concentration distribution …
