- •
Study of African dust outbreaks in the southernmost largest European city.
- •
Proposed a new procedure to find the best starting heights for trajectory analysis.
- •
Decoupling in height may explain concurrent dust and aged pollutants load.
- •
At the lowermost levels flows are most frequently of Mediterranean origin.
- •
Lowest arrival height of African air masses mostly within 1000–2000 m.
