Optical properties of accumulation mode, polluted mineral dust: effects of particle shape, hematite content and semi-external mixing with carbonaceous species

The morphology, mixing state and hematite content of polluted mineral dust are not well accounted in the optical models and this leads to uncertainty in the radiative forcing estimation. In the present study, based on the morphological and mineralogical characterisation of polluted dust, the three-s...
