A Decade of CALIPSO Observations of Asian and Saharan Dust Properties near Source and Transport Regions
The lidar on the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations (CALIPSO) mission, makes robust measurements of dust and has generated a length of record that is significant both seasonally and inter-annually.We exploit this record to determine a multi-year climatology of the properties of Asian and Saharan dust, in particular s
