Sebastian Otto,Eike Bierwirth,Bernadett Weinzierl,Konrad Kandler,Michael Esselborn,Matthias Tesche,A. Schladitz,Manfred Wendisch,Thomas Trautmann +8 more
TL;DR: The solar optical properties of Saharan mineral dust observed during the Saharan Mineral Dust Experiment (SAMUM) were explored based on measured size-number distributions and chemical composition as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Atmospheric radiative effects of an in situ measured Saharan dust plume and the role of large particles
TL;DR: In this paper, the aerosol size distributions measured in a Saharan dust plume between 0.9 and 12 km altitude during the ACE-2 campaign 1997 were investigated over ocean and desert within the scope of sensitivity studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spectral surface albedo over Morocco and its impact on radiative forcing of Saharan dust
Eike Bierwirth,Eike Bierwirth,Eike Bierwirth,Manfred Wendisch,Manfred Wendisch,André Ehrlich,André Ehrlich,Birgit Heese,Birgit Heese,Matthias Tesche,Dietrich Althausen,A. Schladitz,Detlef Müller,Sebastian Otto,Thomas Trautmann,Tilman Dinter,Wolfgang von Hoyningen-Huene,Ralph A. Kahn +17 more
TL;DR: In this article, the spectral and broad-band dust radiative forcing at top-of-atmosphere (TOA) and at the surface has been estimated using measured surface and atmospheric properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of optical and microphysical properties of pure Saharan mineral dust observed with AERONET Sun photometer, Raman lidar, and in situ instruments during SAMUM 2006

TL;DR: The Saharan Mineral Dust Experiment (SAMUM) 2006, Morocco, aimed at the characterization of optical, physical, and radiative properties of Saharan dust as discussed by the authors, provided a comprehensive set of data on particle shape dependent and particle-shape independent dust properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
On realistic size equivalence and shape of spheroidal Saharan mineral dust particles applied in solar and thermal radiative transfer calculations
TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived the size equivalence and shape of Saharan mineral dust particles from in-situ particle, lidar and sun photometer measurements during SAMUM-1 in Morocco (19 May 2006), dealing with measured size and altitude-resolved axis ratio distributions of assumed spheroidal model particles.
