Aerosol characterization in Northern Africa, Northeastern Atlantic, Mediterranean Basin and Middle East from direct-sun AERONET observations
(2009-11-03)
Article
Open AccessWe proviede an atmospheric aerosol characterization for North Africa, Northeastern Atlantic, Mediterranean and Middle East based on the analysis of quality-assured direct-sun observations of 39 stations of the AErosol ... -
An Empirical equation to estimate mineral dust concentrations from visibility observations in Northern Africa
(2015-03-01)
Article
Open AccessThis paper presents a new empirical equation relating horizontal visibility and PM10 dust concentrations. The new empirical equation (IZO-Eq) is derived from observations performed at the Izana Atmospheric Observatory (IZO, ... -

Development and evaluation of the BSC-DREAM8b dust regional model over Northern Africa, the Mediterranean and the Middle East
(2012-06-12)
Article
Open AccessThe BSC-DREAM8b model and its predecessor are analysed in terms of aerosol optical depth (AOD) for 2004 over Northern Africa, the Mediterranean and the Middle East. We discuss the model performance and we test and analyse ... -
Distribución espacial y temporal de polvo mineral atmosférico en el norte de África y Oriente medio estimada a partir de la visibilidad horizontal
(2012)
Conference lecture
Open AccessEl polvo mineral atmosférico desempeña un papel muy importante en la atmósfera por su interacción con el balance radiativo y con la microfísica de nubes. África Septentrional es la mayor fuente de polvo mineral en el ... -
Long-term characterisation of the vertical structure of the Saharan Air Layer over the Canary Islands using lidar and radiosonde profiles: implications for radiative and cloud processes over the subtropical Atlantic Ocean
(Copernicus Publications, 2022-01)
Article
Open AccessEvery year, large-scale African dust outbreaks frequently pass over the Canary Islands (Spain). Here we describe the seasonal evolution of atmospheric aerosol extinction and meteorological vertical profiles on Tenerife ... -

OBSERVING MINERAL DUST IN NORTHERN AFRICA, THE MIDDLE EAST AND EUROPE: CURRENT CAPABILITIES AND CHALLENGES AHEAD FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF DUST SERVICES
(American Meteorological Society (AMS), 2023)
Article
Open AccessMineral dust produced by wind erosion of arid and semi-arid surfaces is a major component of atmospheric aerosol that affects climate, weather, ecosystems, and socio-economic sectors such as human health, transportation, ... -

Saharan dust events in the dust belt -Canary Islands- and the observed association with in-hospital mortality of patients with heart failure
(MDPI, 2020-01-30)
Article
Open AccessRecent studies have found increases in the cardiovascular mortality rates during poor air quality events due to outbreaks of desert dust. In Tenerife, we collected (2014–2017) data in 829 patients admitted with a heart ... -
Sistema de evaluación y aviso de tormentas de polvo y arena (WMO SDS-WAS)
(2012)
Conference lecture
Open AccessCuando el viento es moderado o fuerte, puede levantar grandes masas de polvo y arena procedentes de suelos secos y desnudos e incorporarlas a la circulación atmosférica. Las partículas de menor tamaño pueden viajar ... -
The MACC-II 2007-2008 reanalysis: atmospheric dust evaluation and characterization over northern Africa and the Middle East
(2015-01-01)
Article
Open AccessIn the present work, atmospheric mineral dust from a MACC-II short reanalysis run for 2 years (2007-2008) has been evaluated over northern Africa and the Middle East using satellite aerosol products (from MISR, MODIS and ... -
Trend changes of African airmass intrusions in the marine boundary layer over the subtropical Eastern North Atlantic region in winter
(John Wiley & Sons, 2011-04-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyAfrican dust intrusions in the marine mixing layer of the Eastern North Atlantic subtropical region (23.5◦N to 35◦N) are favoured in winter when the eastern edge of the Azores High covers Southwestern Europe and North ...
