Mediterranean intense desert dust outbreaks and their vertical structure based on remote sensing data

The main aim of the present study is to describe the vertical structure of the intense Mediterranean dust outbreaks, based on the use of satellite and surface-based retrievals/measurements. Strong and extreme desert dust (DD) episodes are identified at 1°  ×  1° spatial resolution, over the peri...
