Daily aerosol optical depth (AOD) and meteorological fields obtained from Monitoring
Atmospheric Composition and Climate (MACC) and ERA-Interim reanalysis, respectively are …

The interest in the use of ceilometers for optical aerosol characterization has increased in
the last few years. They operate continuously almost unattended and are also much less …

Remote sensing measurements of aerosols using depolarization Raman lidar systems from
four EARLINET (European Aerosol Research Lidar Network) stations are used for a …

In this study, daily-mean total and dust aerosol optical depth (TAOD, DAOD, respectively)
obtained from the Monitoring Atmospheric Composition and Climate (MACC) and …

We have analyzed near-global stratospheric data (and mesospheric data as well for H 2 O)
in terms of absolute abundances, variability, and trends for O 3, H 2 O, HCl, N 2 O, and HNO …

Aerosols represent one of the dominant uncertainties in radiative forcing, partly because of
their very high spatiotemporal variability, a still insufficient knowledge of their microphysical …

Abstract The Global Observing System (GOS) has encountered some limitations due to a
lack of worldwide real-time wind measurements. In this context, the European Space Agency …

An intense and long-lasting Saharan dust outbreak crossed the Iberian Peninsula (IP) from
the southwest (SW) to the northeast (NE) from 25 March until 7 April 2021. This work aims to …

In the morning of 21 July 2019, a dense forest fire smoke plume was detected over Évora
(Portugal) in the lower troposphere. Around 13: 00 UTC, a Sahara dust layer was detected …

The instantaneous direct radiative forcing is a basis for estimating the aerosol's climate
effect, which is still one of the most uncertain factors. In this study, we incorporate eight …
