TL;DR: In this paper, the vertical profiles of the linear particle depolarization ratio of pure dust clouds were measured during the Saharan Mineral Dust Experiment (SAMUM) at Ouarzazate, Morocco, close to source regions in May-June 2006, with four lidar systems at four wavelengths (355, 532, 710 and 1064 nm).
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemical composition and complex refractive index of Saharan Mineral Dust at Izaña, Tenerife (Spain) derived by electron microscopy
Konrad Kandler,Nathalie Benker,Ulrich Bundke,Emilio Cuevas,Martin Ebert,Peter Knippertz,Sergio Rodríguez,Lothar Schütz,Stephan Weinbruch +8 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Size distribution, mass concentration, chemical and mineralogical composition and derived optical parameters of the boundary layer aerosol at Tinfou, Morocco, during SAMUM 2006

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mineral dust aerosols over the Sahara: Meteorological controls on emission and transport and implications for modeling
Peter Knippertz,Martin C. Todd +1 more
TL;DR: The work in this article summarizes recent progress on monitoring and analyzing the dust distribution over the Sahara and discusses implications for numerical modeling, including better quantification of the relative importance of single processes and a more realistic representation of the effects of the smaller-scale meteorological features in dust models.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term precipitation variability in Morocco and the link to the large-scale circulation in recent and future climates
TL;DR: In this paper, monthly precipitation data from the Global Historical Climatology Network for 42 stations in Morocco and its vicinity are investigated with respect to baroclinicity, storm track and cyclone activity, moisture transports, North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) variations, and different circulation types by means of correlation and composite studies.
