Abstract:<p>Mineral dust is the most abundant natural dust in the atmosphere. It has direct and indirect effects on the radiative budget altering climate and air quality. These effects are directly dependent of the mineralogical composition and microphysical properties of the transported dust in the atmosphere.</p><p>High spectral resolution Infrared remote sensing technology has shown the ability to characterize different atmospheric components from local to global scale.
