Microphysical characterization of long-range transported biomass burning particles from North America at three EARLINET stations
Strong events of long-range transported biomass burning aerosol were detected during July2013 at three EARLINET (European Aerosol Research Lidar Network) stations, namely Granada (Spain), Leipzig (Germany) and Warsaw (Poland). Satellite observations from MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrorad...

Strong events of long-range transported biomass burning aerosol were detected during July2013 at three EARLINET (European Aerosol Research Lidar Network) stations, namely Granada (Spain), Leipzig (Germany) and Warsaw (Poland).
