Large-scale dust event in East Asia, as revealed by the Himawari-8 DUST RGB, lidar network observations, and field survey

Dust in the diffuse ISM as revealed by DIRBE observations

The weekly averaged DIRBE full sky images have been processed to separate the various components contributing to the total brightness in the various bands. The zodiacal emission, which dominates at 12 and 25 #m and the zodiacal dust scattering at ~ < 5 #m are both accounted for using an empirical fit to the data. The diffuse stellar emission which dominates at )~ < 5 #m is determined using the ...

A long Saharan dust event over the western Mediterranean: Lidar, Sun photometer observations, and regional dust modeling

[1] A long Saharan dust event affected the western Mediterranean in the period 12– 28 June 2002. Dust was present mainly between 1and 5-km height affecting most parts of the Iberian Peninsula and reaching western/central Europe. Intensive backscatter lidar observations over Barcelona (Spain) and Sun photometer data from two stations (El Arenosillo, Spain, and Avignon, France) are used to evalua...

Surface observation of sand and dust storm in East Asia and its application in CUACE/Dust

Large-scale magnetic field configuration and dust emission

We observed the nearby early-type spiral galaxy NGC 4594 (M 104, Sombrero galaxy) with the Very Large Array at 4.86 GHz, with the Effelsberg 100-m telescope at 8.35 GHz as well as with the Heinrich Hertz Telescope at 345 GHz in radio continuum. The 4.86 and 8.35 GHz data contain polarization information and hence information about the magnetic fields: we detected a large-scale magnetic field wh...

Desert dust lidar ratios

This discussion paper is/has been under review for the journal Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics (ACP). Please refer to the corresponding final paper in ACP if available. Abstract Four years (2010–2013) of observations with polarization lidar and sun/sky photometer at the combined European Aerosol Research Lidar Network (EARLINET) and Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) site of Limassol (34.7 • N...
