Chemical Composition and Levels of Concentrations of Aerosols in the Mediterranean

The Mediterranean basin is a climate-sensitive region of particular interest for examining atmospheric aerosols and their chemical composition due to the large variety of source regions, contrasting air masses, and mixing processes between anthropogenic emissions, sea salt, and desert dust. Apart fr...
