Aircraft measurements from Fennec: giant particles, optical properties, and effects of transport
EGU General Assembly Conference Abstracts(2015)
摘要
During June 2011 and 2012 the Fennec project took place in the Western Sahara desert. Ground based and airborne measurements were taken in remote desert regions of Mali, Mauritania and Algeria. In-situ aircraft measurements of Saharan dust from the 2011 flights will be presented, with size distributions extending to 300 mum, representing measurements extending further into the coarse mode than previously published for airborne Saharan dust. A significant coarse mode was present in the size distribution measurements with effective diameter (deff) from 2.3 to 19.4 mum and coarse mode volume median diameter (dvc) from 5.8 to 45.3 mum. The mean size distribution had a larger relative proportion of coarse mode particles than previous aircraft measurements with significant contribution from the'giant mode'-particles larger than 38 microns. Properties of dust size distribution and optical properties will be …
