TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented the first results of the aerosol microphysical profiles retrieved at the EARLINET Granada station and analyzed an event characterized by the presence of a large load of fine particles.

TL;DR: In this article , a multivariate curve resolution (MCR-ALS) source apportionment analysis identified primary emissions sources (traffic + biomass burning) that were responsible for the 50% and 20% of the organic aerosol contributions in Granada and Barcelona, respectively.

TL;DR: A new setup in the ultraviolet branch of an existing multiwavelength lidar system to collect signal from rotational Raman lines of Oxygen and Nitrogen is implemented and it is shown that, with an appropriate filter wavelength selection, the systematic error introduced in the particle optical properties due to temperature dependence was less than 4%.
