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 late March 2018, a large part of the Eastern Mediterranean experienced an extraordinary
episode of African dust, one of the most intense in recent years, here referred to as the …

This study investigates the atmospheric dynamics of the major dust storm that occurred in
June 2020 over the Sahara and during which dust clouds associated with the highest‐on …

This study analyzes six frontal dust storms in the Middle East during the cold period (October–
March), aiming to examine the atmospheric circulation patterns and force dynamics that …

Ephemeral and dried lakes in southwest and central Asia, such as the Aral Sea and
Hamouns in east Iran, are major sources of dust storms with an increasing tendency during …

Aerosols that are efficient ice-nucleating particles (INPs) are crucial for the formation of cloud
ice via heterogeneous nucleation in the atmosphere. The distribution of INPs on a large …

This study analyses 4-years of continuous 7-λ Aethalometer (AE-33) measurements in an
urban-background environment of Athens, to resolve the spectral absorption coefficients (b …

In June 2020, a major dust outbreak occurred in the Sahara that impacted the tropical
Atlantic Ocean. In this study, the dust load and radiative forcing of the dust plumes on both …

This study examines the carbonaceous-aerosol characteristics at three contrasting urban
environments in Greece (Ioannina, Athens, and Heraklion), on the basis of 12 h sampling …

Dust particles larger than 20 µ m in diameter have been regularly observed to remain
airborne during long-range transport. In this work, we modify the parameterization of the …
