Injection of mineral dust into the free troposphere during fire events observed with polarization lidar at Limassol, Cyprus

Four-year observations (2010–2014) with EARLINET polarization lidar and AERONET sun/sky photometer at Limassol (34.7° N, 33° E), Cyprus, were used to study the soil dust content in lofted fire smoke plumes advected from Turkey. This first systematic attempt to characterize less than 3-day-ol...
