Origin and pathways of the mineral dust transport to two Spanish EARLINET sites: effect on the observed columnar and range-resolved dust optical properties

In this paper, is presented a method for estimation of the effect of the transport process to aerosol optical properties. Aerosol optical data retrieved by lidars and sun-photometer measurements, are applied to Saharan dust events observed simultaneously at the two EARLINET/AERONET sites of Barcelon...
