| Zusammenfassung |
| This study focuses on the analysis of Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET)
aerosol data obtained over Alborán Island (35.90° N,
3.03° W, 15 m a.s.l.) in the western Mediterranean from July
2011 to January 2012. Additional aerosol data from the three nearest AERONET
stations (Málaga, Oujda and Palma de Mallorca) and the Maritime Aerosol
Network (MAN) were also analyzed in order to investigate the
temporal and spatial variations of aerosol over this scarcely explored region. High
aerosol loads over Alborán were mainly associated with desert dust
transport from North Africa and occasional advection of anthropogenic fine
particles from central European urban-industrial areas. The fine particle
load observed over Alborán was surprisingly similar to that obtained
over the other three nearest AERONET stations, suggesting homogeneous
spatial distribution of fine particle loads over the four studied sites in
spite of the large differences in local sources. The results from MAN
acquired over the Mediterranean Sea, Black Sea and Atlantic Ocean from July
to November 2011 revealed a pronounced predominance of fine particles during
the cruise period. |
