TL;DR: In this paper, the size, aspect ratio and chemical composition of more than 22,000 individual particles were studied by scanning electron microscopy and optical particle spectrometer, and the average aspect ratio of the particles was 1.64.

TL;DR: In this paper, physical and chemical properties of desert aerosols were measured during the SAMUM 2006 field campaign in southern Morocco, and the size distributions were measured for particles with diameter between 20 nm and 500 μm.

TL;DR: A review of recently acquired knowledge on the physico-chemical properties of mineral dust from Africa and Asia based on data presented and discussed during the Third International Dust Workshop, held in Leipzig (Germany) in September 2008 is presented in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors performed in-situ measurements of volcanic ash plumes over Europe between Southern Germany and Iceland with the Falcon aircraft during the eruption period of the Eyjafjalla volcano between 19 April and 18 May 2010.

TL;DR: In this article, a review of bulk compositional data of northern African dust and its potential source sediments is presented, which includes elemental, isotope and mineralogical data, and the complete data set yields clear evidence that northern African Dust and its source sediment are compositionally heterogeneous on a regional scale and can be used to differentiate between major potential source areas on the basis of so-called source markers.
