Some insight is provided about the time and altitude evolution of a Saharan dust event
observed by lidar during the spring 1999 EU campaign PAUR-II at Crete (35N–23E). The dust …

In February 2017 the “Carbonaceous Aerosol in Rome and Environs (CARE)” experiment
was carried out in downtown Rome to address the following specific questions: what is the …

Current shipping activities employ about 3% of the world-delivered energy. Most of this
energy is conveyed by diesel engines. In Europe, release of NO x and particulate matter (PM) …

In this study, the Weather Research and Forecasting model with online coupled chemistry (WRF-Chem)
is applied to simulate an intense Saharan dust outbreak event that took place …

Wildland fires represent the major source of fine aerosols, ie, atmospheric particles with
diameters <1 μm. The largest numbers of these fires occur in Africa, Asia and South America, but …

Mountainous regions are often considered pristine environments; however they can be
affected by pollutants emitted in more populated and industrialised areas, transported by …

Desert dust storms pose real threats to air quality and health of millions of people in source
regions, with associated impacts extending to downwind areas. Europe (EU) is frequently …

We investigate optical–microphysical–chemical properties of brown carbon (BrC) in the
urban ambient atmosphere of the Po Valley. In situ ground measurements of aerosol spectral …

A numerical model, based on a Monte Carlo approach, is presented to determine functional
relationships linking backscatter and other important properties as extinction, surface area, …

In 2011 the European Commission (EC) released specific ‘Guidelines’ describing the
methods to quantify and subtract the contribution of natural sources from the PM10 values …
