Assessment of African desert dust episodes over the southwest Spain at sea level using in situ aerosol optical and microphysical properties

Desert dust (DD) aerosols reach the El Arenosillo observatory (southwest Spain) following two characteristic pathways at sea level, each showing significant differences in its aerosol microphysical and optical properties. These differences, in turn, determine the influence on the radiative forcing o...
