Lidar Measuremnt on Dust Transport from the Saharan Desert to the Iran Plateau

Lidar Measuremnt on Dust Transport from the Saharan Desert to the Iran Plateau

Optical properties of long-range Saharan dust particles transported to the Iran Plateau have been investigated. The results were derived from the measurements of a dual-wavelength Depolarized backscatter/Raman lidar and a Cimel CE318-2 sunphotometer. Observations were performed in Zanjan, Northwest...

The backward trajectory analysis show that the lofted dust plumes come from the Saharan desert and travel along Mediterranean Sea and Turkey toward Iran.
