Mapping the physico-chemical properties of mineral dust in western Africa: mineralogical composition
In the last few years, several ground-based and airborne field campaigns have allowed the exploration of the properties and impacts of mineral dust in western Africa, one of the major emission and transport areas worldwide. In this paper, we explore the synthesis of these observations to provide a l...
