Participation in the 8th International Workshop on Sand/Duststorms and Associated Dustfall
The Izaña Atmospheric Research Center has participated in “8th International Workshop on Sand/Duststorms and Associated Dustfall”, which was held in Lisbon (Portugal) from 1 to 4 May 2016.
The goal of DUST/Workshop is to present results and to discuss how to enhance our understanding of dust storm mechanisms and their links and feedbacks between desert dust, air quality, radiation, clouds, water budget and health impacts.
The following contributions were shown:
- “Trans-Atlantic African Dust Transport Under El Niño 2015 Scenario” M.I. García, J.M. Próspero, S. Rodríguez, P. Zuidema, E. Sosa, A. Alastuey, F. Lucarelli, G. Calzola and J. López-Solano.
