Saharan Dust Modeling Over the Mediterranean Basin and Central Europe: Does the Resolution Matter?

The Mediterranean Basin is frequently affected by desert dust outbreaks coming from the north of Africa. The presence of this type of particulate matter (PM) joint to others (in particular, anthropogenic pollution from the intense human activities) makes the air quality over this region a worrying i...
