Zusammenfassung

The study and characterization of the main features of PMx data recorded in the inventory of desert dust intrusions over northern-central Spain during the period 2003–2012 was carried out. The inventory was developed by taking the AOD-alpha data from sun-photometers measurements at the stations of Palencia and Autilla del Pino (province of Palencia) belonging to the RIMA-AERONET network. The detection and characterization of the desert dust episodes was based on a manual inspection of AOD-Alpha instantaneous data, although complementary information such as air masses back trajectories, MODIS images and synoptic weather maps was used.
