Advection patterns and aerosol optical and microphysical properties by AERONET over south-east Italy in the central Mediterranean

Aerosol products by AERONET sun-sky radiometer measurements combined with air-mass backtrajectories were analyzed to identify source regions and pathways of air masses carrying aerosols to south-east Italy, and to determine the dependence of aerosol mean optical properties on advection patterns. Aer...
