Aerosol absorption profiling from the synergy of lidar and sun-photometry
The ACTRIS-2 campaigns in Germany, Greece and Cyprus
Aerosol absorption profiling is crucial for radiative transfer calculations and climate modelling. Here, we utilize the synergy of lidar with sun-photometer measurements to derive the absorption coefficient and single scattering albedo profiles during the ACTRIS-2 campaigns held

Solar irradiance prediction over the aegean sea
Shortwave parameterization schemes and aerosol radiation feedback
In order to study the solar irradiance’s prediction over Greece, WRF-Chem model is applied, using three shortwave radiation parameterization schemes: Dudhia, Goddard and RRTMG which simulate differently the aerosol-radiation interaction. This study focuses on a typical summertime

The spatial structure of the marine atmospheric boundary layer (MABL) over the Aegean Sea is investigated using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) mesoscale model. Two ‘first-order’ non-local and five ‘1.5-order’ local planetary boundary-layer (PBL) parametrization scheme

New particle formation in the southern Aegean Sea during the Etesians
Importance for CCN production and cloud droplet number
This study examines how new particle formation (NPF) in the eastern Mediterranean in summer affects CCN (cloud condensation nuclei) concentrations and cloud droplet formation. For this, the concentration and size distribution of submicron aerosol particles, along with the concent
...
This study investigates the concentration, cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) activity and hygroscopic properties of particles influenced by biomass burning in the eastern Mediterranean and their impacts on cloud droplet formation. Air masses sampled were subject to a range of atmos

Atmospheric composition in the Eastern Mediterranean
Influence of biomass burning during summertime using the WRF-Chem model
The composition of the atmosphere over the Aegean Sea (AS) during an 'Etesian' outbreak under the influence of biomass burning (BB) activity is investigated. Simulations with the fully coupled WRF-Chem model during the Aegean-GAME campaign (29/8-9/9/2011) are used to examine the

Long-range transportation of air pollutants from industrial and urban environments can significantly affect the quality of the air in remote regions. In this study, we investigate episodes of particulate transport (PT) from Eurasia to the remote environment of Northeastern Medite
