Saharan dust aerosol over the central Mediterranean Sea: PM<sub>10</sub> chemical composition and concentration versus optical columnar measurements

Saharan dust aerosol over the central Mediterranean Sea: PM<sub>10</sub> chemical composition and concentration versus optical columnar measurements

This study aims to determine the mineral contribution to PM<sub>10</sub> in the central Mediterranean Sea, based on 7 yr of daily PM<sub>10</sub> samplings made on the island of Lampedusa (35.5° N, 12.6° E). <br><br> The chemical composition of the PM<sub>10...
