Estimate of surface direct radiative forcing of desert dust from atmospheric modulation of the aerosol optical depth [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2013 Measurements carried out on the island of Lampedusa, in the central Mediterranean, on 7 September 2005, show the occurrence of a quasi-periodic oscillation of aerosol optical depth, column water vapour, and surface irradiance in different spectral bands.
