Journal ArticleDOI
Radiative properties and direct radiative effect of Saharan dust measured by the C-130 aircraft during SHADE: 1. Solar spectrum
Jim Haywood,Peter N. Francis,Simon R. Osborne,Martin D. Glew,Norman G. Loeb,Eleanor J. Highwood,Didier Tanré,Gunnar Myhre,Paola Formenti,Edwin Hirst +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the physical and optical properties of Saharan dust aerosol measured by the Met Office C-130 during the Saharan Dust Experiment (SHADE) are presented, and additional radiation measurements enable the determination of the aerosol optical depth, taerl, and the direct radiative effect of the mineral dust.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recent progress in understanding physical and chemical properties of African and Asian mineral dust
Paola Formenti,Lothar Schütz,Yves Balkanski,Karine Desboeufs,Martin Ebert,Konrad Kandler,Andreas Petzold,Dirk Scheuvens,Dirk Scheuvens,Stephan Weinbruch,Daizhou Zhang +10 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
The mean physical and optical properties of regional haze dominated by biomass burning aerosol measured from the C-130 aircraft during SAFARI 2000
Jim Haywood,Simon R. Osborne,Peter N. Francis,Andreas Keil,Paola Formenti,Paola Formenti,Meinrat O. Andreae,Paul H. Kaye +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a method to detect the presence of a single particle in the UHRA data set of the Earth's magnetic field using a single-dimensional model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measurement and modeling of the Saharan dust radiative impact: Overview of the Saharan Dust Experiment (SHADE)
Didier Tanré,Jim Haywood,Jacques Pelon,Jean-François Léon,Bernadette Chatenet,Paola Formenti,Paola Formenti,Peter N. Francis,Philippe Goloub,Eleanor J. Highwood,Gunnar Myhre +10 more
TL;DR: The Saharan Dust Experiment (SHADE) as mentioned in this paper was designed to better determine the parameters that are relevant for computing the direct radiative effect, and two aircraft combining in situ and remote sensing instruments were coordinated with satellite overpasses and ground-based observations.
Journal ArticleDOI
