- Description:
- The goal of this work was to characterize biomass burning plumes traveling from North America and Saharan dust particles passing over the Andalusian Center for Environmental Research (CEAMA) on June 23, 2010. Biomass burning aerosols are the result of the burning of living or dead vegetation; they absorb and scatter shortwave radiation thereby having an influence on the radiative budget of the atmosphere. Mineral dust is an aerosol scatters and absorbs incoming solar light, which has an impact on long-wave terrestrial radiation.
