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 presents in situ aircraft measurements of Saharan mineral dust transported over
the western Mediterranean basin in June–July 2013 during the ChArMEx/ADRIMED (the …

The Chemistry-Aerosol Mediterranean Experiment (ChArMEx; http://charmex. lsce. ipsl. fr) is

Clear-sky solar radiation is an important indicator describing the potential of solar energy.
The aerosols and water vapour, apart from geometrical/astronomical ones, are the main …

Herein, we present a description of the Mechanism of Intermediate complexity for Modelling
Iron (MIMI v1. 0). This iron processing module was developed for use within Earth system …

For the first time, the direct radiative effect (DRE) of aerosols on solar radiation is computed
over the entire Mediterranean basin, one of the most climatically sensitive world regions …

Aerosol absorption properties are of high importance to assess aerosol impact on regional
climate. This study presents an analysis of aerosol absorption products obtained over the …

The daily (24 h) averages of the aerosol radiative forcing (ARF) at the surface and the top of
the atmosphere (TOA) were calculated during desert dust events over Granada …

Observations from the new Japanese geostationary satellite Himawari-8 permit quasi-real-
time estimation of global shortwave radiation at an unprecedented temporal resolution …

Decadal aerosol characteristics and related radiative effects (ARE) and efficiencies (AREE)
at ultraviolet (UV), visible (VIS), near‐infrared (NIR), and shortwave wavelengths were …
