RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 Impact of long-range transport over the Atlantic Ocean on Saharan dust optical and microphysical properties based on AERONET data A1 Velasco-Merino, Cristian A1 Mateos, David A1 Toledano Olmeda, Carlos A1 Prospero, Joseph M. A1 Molinie, Jack A1 Euphrasie-Clotilde, Lovely A1 González, Ramiro A1 Cachorro Revilla, Victoria Eugenia A1 Calle Montes, Abel A1 Frutos Baraja, Ángel Máximo de AB We present the first comparison of columnar aerosol properties recorded by sun photometry of Saharan dust between western Africa and Caribbean Basin. A comprehensive climatology of 20 years of data is presented in the two areas. To our knowledge, we present the first global climatology of columnar aerosols in the Caribbean Basin. Changes after transport in aerosol load, size distribution, shape, and absorbing and scattering variables are quantified using long-term records between 1996 and 2014.
