Atmospheric radiative effects of an in situ measured Saharan dust plume and the role of large particles
This work will present aerosol size distributions measured in a Saharan dust plume between 0.9 and 12 km altitude during the ACE-2 campaign 1997. The distributions contain a significant fraction of large particles of diameters from 4 to 30 μm. Radiative transfer calculations have been performed using these data as input. Shortwave, longwave as well as total atmospheric radiative effects (AREs) ...
متن کاملObservations and model calculations of trace gas scavenging in a dense Saharan dust plume during MINATROC
An intensive field measurement campaign was performed in July/August 2002 at the Global Atmospheric Watch station Izaña on Tenerife to study the interaction of mineral dust aerosol and tropospheric chemistry (MINATROC). A dense Saharan dust plume, with aerosol masses exceeding 500μg m−3, persisted for three days. During this dust event strongly reduced mixing ratios of ROx (HO2, CH3O2 and highe...
متن کاملRadiative Forcing of Saharan Dust: GOCART Model Simulations Compared with ERBE Data
This study uses information on Saharan aerosol from a dust transport model to calculate radiative forcing values. The transport model is driven by assimilated meteorological fields from the Goddard Earth Observing System Data Assimilation System. The model produces global three-dimensional dust spatial information for four different mineral aerosol sizes. These dust fields are input to an offli...
متن کاملInvestigation into Single Scattering Properties of Airborne Saharan Dust Particles
The phase functions of single mineral dust particles levitated in an electrodynamic balance have been measured. Normalized phase functions and the asymmetry parameter could be determined because nearly the full range of scattering angles was available: 0.5° to 177°. The particles have been characterized using microscopy.
متن کاملThe formation of a large summertime Saharan dust plume: Convective and synoptic-scale analysis
Haboobs are dust storms produced by the spreading of evaporatively cooled air from thunderstorms over dusty surfaces and are a major dust uplift process in the Sahara. In this study observations, reanalysis, and a high-resolution simulation using the Weather Research and Forecasting model are used to analyze the multiscale dynamics which produced a long-lived (over 2 days) Saharan mesoscale con...
