Origin and pathways of the mineral dust transport to two Spanish EARLINET sites: Effect on the observed columnar and range-resolved dust optical properties
Coincidence Saharan dust events over the Granada and Barcelona stations are studied. Column integrated and the vertical resolved from AERONET and EARLINET are used. Cluster analysis of Hysplit trajectories was involved in this study. Key scenarios of Saharan dust intrusions over Iberian Peninsula are identified. Variations of the optical properties, during the transport process are determined.
