Unexpected vertical structure of the Saharan Air Layer and giant dust particles during AER-D

<p>The Saharan Air Layer (SAL) in the summertime eastern Atlantic is typically well mixed and 3–4&thinsp;km deep, overlying the marine boundary layer (MBL). In this paper, we show experimental evidence that at times a very different structure can be observed. During the AERosol properties...
