Journal ArticleDOI
Mineralogical composition of African dust delivered by red rains over northeastern Spain
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the influence of red rain on rain chemistry in the Montseny mountains of northeastern Spain for the period from August 1, 1983, through August 2, 1994.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative PM10-PM2.5 source contribution study at rural, urban and industrial sites during PM episodes in Eastern Spain.
Sergio Rodríguez,Xavier Querol,Andrés Alastuey,M. Viana,Marta Alarcón,Enrique Mantilla,Carmen Ruiz +6 more
TL;DR: The results show that it would be very difficult to meet the EU limit values for PM10 established for 2010, and the main PM10 sources were mineral dust, emissions derived from power generation, vehicle exhausts, and marine aerosol.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wet and dry African dust episodes over eastern Spain
Miguel Escudero,S. Castillo,Xavier Querol,Anna Avila,Marta Alarcón,Mar Viana,Andrés Alastuey,Emilio Cuevas,Sergio Rodríguez +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of the African dust on levels of atmospheric suspended particulate matter (SPM) and on wet deposition was evaluated in eastern Iberia for the period 1996-2002.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relationship between precipitation chemistry and meteorological situations at a rural site in NE Spain
Anna Avila,Marta Alarcón +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, rain samples were collected at Montseny (Catalonia, NE Spain) from 1983 to 1994 and analyzed for major cations and anions, and the samples were classified for provenance based on meteorological synoptic maps and back trajectory analysis to identify the source areas of pollutants in precipitation.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is shown that many long-distance migrants take advantage of favourable winds, moving downwind at high elevation, pointing at strong similarities in the flight strategies used by V. cardui and other migrant Lepidoptera.
