Desert dust characterization in Northern Africa, Middle East and Europe through regional dust modelling, and satellite-borne and ground-based observations

Sara Basart Alpuente

Abstract: The impact of mineral dust upon climate, ecosystems and air quality represents a major scientific and societal issue. The aim goals of the present Ph.D. Thesis are to evaluate the behaviour and to improve the forecasting skills of a regional dust model and to characterize the desert dust content in Northern Africa, Europe and Middle East. An aerosol characterization was performed using long-term series of aerosol optical depth (AOD) from AERONET sun photometers. The results showed that mineral dust was t… Show more
