This work aims at studying the Saharan desert dust storm effects on clouds. This is done through the investigation of the possible modifications that mineral desert dust aerosols may exert on clouds, modifying their properties and also through the estimation of the cloud radiative forcing in the presence of this type of aerosols, during strong desert dust events that occurred in the end of May 2006...
Aerosol from biomass burning has been shown to strongly modify cloud microphysical properties and cloud lifetime through the so-called “indirect effect.” However, in the case of a lack of wet scavenging, it stays suspended for days to weeks and can be transported to considerable distances within an elevated layer above low-level cloud tops with minimal aerosol–cloud interactions. The observations...
