Abstract(s)

> huge amounts of mineral dust are emitted every year from the Sahara desert to the atmosphere; > optical parameters of mineral aerosols determine the direct interaction of solar and terrestrial radiation in the atmosphere through scattering and absorption; > mineral dust has a great impact on cloud formation leading to additional indirect radiation effects; > The dense haze from dust events is also known to affect visibility.
