Describing fluctuating indoor aerosol dust measurements with application to house dust mite allergens [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2020 AbstractMeasuring house dust mite aeroallergen concentrations is essential in understanding mite allergen exposure. Physically, the aerolized house dust mite faeces are part of indoor particulate matter. We studied the statistical ways of summarizing measurements of fluctuating mite aeroallergen exposure inside homes through indoor particulate matter ...

Modelling the generation of dusty marine aerosol by expeditionary data and remote sensing methods over the Black Sea region [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2020 During a long-range transport, Sahara dust is naturally mixed with other aerosols, including maritime. At present, the mixing of these types of marine and dust aerosols is of particular interest, since it is important to correctly estimate the ionic and ...

New developments in the representation of Saharan dust sources in the aerosol–climate model ECHAM6-HAM2 [PDF]
, 2015 In the aerosol–climate model ECHAM6-HAM2, dust source activation (DSA) observations from Meteosat Second Generation (MSG) satellite are proposed to replace the original source area parameterization over the Sahara Desert.
