Abstract. Systematic measurements of dust concentration profiles at a continental scale were recently made possible by the development synergistic retrieval algorithms using combined lidar and sun photometer data establishment robust remote-sensing networks in framework Aerosols, Clouds, Trace gases Research InfraStructure Network (ACTRIS)/European Aerosol Lidar (EARLINET). We present methodology for these capabilities as tool examining performance transport models. The includes...
Abstract. Every year, large-scale African dust outbreaks frequently pass over the Canary Islands (Spain). Here we describe seasonal evolution of atmospheric aerosol extinction and meteorological vertical profiles on Tenerife period 2007–2018 using long-term micropulse lidar (MPL-3) radiosonde observations. These measurements are used to categorise different patterns transport subtropical North Atlantic and, for first time, robustly distribution in Saharan Air Layer (SAL) this region. Three...
Abstract Dust aerosols are abundant in the atmosphere and very efficient ice nucleating particles at temperatures below −15°C. Depending on temperature, dust containing certain minerals (i.e., feldspar quartz) most active as nuclei. A mineralogy‐sensitive immersion freezing parameterization for particle concentration (INPC) is implemented Regional Atmospheric Model (DREAM) first time. Additionally, four mineralogy‐indifferent parameterizations implemented, two deposition nucleation. its...
The Barcelona Dust Regional Center (BDRC) provides daily forecasts of dust optical depth and surface concentrations, as part coordination entity the Northern Africa, Middle East Europe (NAMEE) node World Meteorological Organization Sand Storm Warning Advisory Assessment System (WMO SDS-WAS). from NAMEE SDS-WAS ensemble show a relatively good agreement, while concentrations larger variability between models. Moreover, consistency depth, an integrated column quantity, concentration remains...
Abstract. The simultaneous analysis of aerosol microphysical properties profiles at different European stations is made in the framework ChArMEx/EMEP 2012 field campaign (9–11 July 2012). During and support this campaign, five lidar ground-based (Athens, Barcelona, Bucharest, Évora, Granada) performed 72 h continuous measurements collocated coincident sun-photometer measurements. Therefore it was possible to retrieve volume concentration with Lidar Radiometer Inversion Code (LIRIC). Results...
Abstract. The Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) is providing daily analyses and forecasts of the composition atmosphere, including reactive gases such as O3, CO, NO2, HCHO, SO2, aerosol species greenhouse gases. global CAMS analysis system (IFS-COMPO) based on ECMWF Integrated Forecast System (IFS) for numerical weather prediction (NWP), assimilates a large number satellite products top meteorological observations ingested in IFS. receives regular upgrades, following upgrades...

Clouds are large contributors to uncertainty in climate projections, with aerosol-cloud interactions playing a key role. To better reproduce heterogeneous ice clouds and, ultimately, the Earth’s changing energy budget EC-Earth3 (one of CMIP6 Earth System Models), its nucleation scheme has been updated. Specifically, temperature-based parameterization substituted by combination aerosol-and-temperature-sensitive nucleating parameterizations. In particular, model now considers...

Knowledge about the particle-size distribution and mineralogical composition of mineral dust at emission are fundamental to advance our understanding quantification climate effects, yet comprehensive measurements still largely lacking, especially super-coarse giant particles particle composition. Here, we introduce Jordan Wind erosion And Dust Investigation (J-WADI), an intensive field measurement campaign conducted in September 2022 north Wadi Rum Jordan. The aim J-WADI is improve dust,...
