OBJECTIVE To describe the clinical management of psoriatic arthritis for patients being treated by dermatologists and rheumatologists in Spain. METHODS Multicenter, retrospective, naturalistic observational study in which demographic and clinical variables were recorded for patients diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis. Data referred to the previous 12 months and were collected during a single ...

1 2 This paper presents statistics of Polar Stratospheric Clouds (PSCs) above Antarctica from 3 June to October 2006 using observations from the CALIOP spaceborne lidar, part of the 4 CALIPSO mission. Synoptic-scale changes in their geographic and temporal distribution 5 are documented on a weekly basis and correlated with temperature fields. A very high 6 spatial and temporal variability tends...

[1] Dust aerosol optical depth (AOD) and vertical distribution of aerosol extinction predicted by a global chemical transport model (GEOS-Chem) are compared to spaceborne data from the Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), MultiAngle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR), and Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation (CALIPSO) for March 2009 to February 2010....

Turkey is located in the heart of complex transition geography between Eurasia and Middle East. In grand scheme, so-called eastern Mediterranean Basin almost middle dusty belt, a hot spot climate change. The downstream location dust-carrying winds from close desert sources reveals as an open plane to particulate matter exposure throughout year. order clarify this phenomenon, paper aims determin...

This paper describes approaches to retrieve important aerosol results from the strong lidar return signals that are received by the space-borne CALIPSO lidar system after reflecting off-ocean surfaces. Relations, from which the theoretically expected values of area under ocean surface returns can be computed, are presented. A detailed description of the lidar system response to the ocean surfac...
