- W4214808601 abstract "<strong class=journal-contentHeaderColor>Abstract.</strong> Every year, large-scale African dust outbreaks frequently pass over the Canary Islands (Spain). Here we describe the seasonal evolution of atmospheric aerosol extinction and meteorological vertical profiles on Tenerife over the period 2007â2018 using long-term micropulse lidar (MPL-3) and radiosonde observations. These measurements are used to categorise the different patterns of dust transport over the subtropical North Atlantic and, for the first time, to robustly describe the dust vertical distribution in the Saharan Air Layer (SAL) over this region. Three atmospheric scenarios dominate the aerosol climatology: dust-free (clean) conditions, the Saharan summer scenario (summer-SAL) and the Saharan winter scenario (winter-SAL). <span id=page740/>A relatively well-mixed marine boundary layer (MBL) was observed in the case of clean (dust-free) conditions; it was associated with rather constant lidar extinction coefficients (<span class=inline-formula><i>α</i></span>) below 0.036âkm<span class=inline-formula><sup>â1</sup></span> with minimum <span class=inline-formula><i>α</i></span> (<span class=inline-formula><</span>â0.022âkm<span class=inline-formula><sup>â1</sup></span>) in the free troposphere (FT). The summer-SAL has been characterised as a dust-laden layer strongly affecting both the MBL (<span class=inline-formula>Î<i>α</i></span>â<span class=inline-formula>=</span>â<span class=inline-formula>+</span>48â% relative to clean conditions) and the FT. The summer-SAL appears as a well-stratified layer, relatively dry at lower levels (<span class=inline-formula><math xmlns=http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML id=M9 display=inline overflow=scroll dspmath=mathml><mrow><mi mathvariant=normal>Î</mi><mi>r</mi><mo>â¼</mo><mo>-</mo><mn mathvariant=normal>44</mn></mrow></math><span><svg:svg xmlns:svg=http://www.w3.org/2000/svg width=48pt height=10pt class=svg-formula dspmath=mathimg md5hash=4587f555832255851f3478276c38f90d><svg:image xmlns:xlink=http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink xlink:href=acp-22-739-2022-ie00001.svg width=48pt height=10pt src=acp-22-739-2022-ie00001.png/></svg:svg></span></span>â% at the SALâs base, where <span class=inline-formula><i>r</i></span> is the water vapour mixing ratio) but more humid at higher levels compared with clean FT conditions (<span class=inline-formula><math xmlns=http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML id=M11 display=inline overflow=scroll dspmath=mathml><mrow><mi mathvariant=normal>Î</mi><mi>r</mi><mo>â¼</mo><mo>+</mo><mn mathvariant=normal>332</mn></mrow></math><span><svg:svg xmlns:svg=http://www.w3.org/2000/svg width=54pt height=10pt class=svg-formula dspmath=mathimg md5hash=507ece2fb7b380f131e7fc3cbc8ea5aa><svg:image xmlns:xlink=http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink xlink:href=acp-22-739-2022-ie00002.svg width=54pt height=10pt src=acp-22-739-2022-ie00002.png/></svg:svg></span></span>â% at 5.3âkm), with a peak of <span class=inline-formula><i>α</i>></span>â0.066âkm<span class=inline-formula><sup>â1</sup></span> at <span class=inline-formula>â¼</span>â2.5âkm. Desert dust is present up to <span class=inline-formula>â¼</span>â6.0âkm, the SAL top based on the altitude of SAL's temperature inversion. In the winter-SAL scenario, the dust layer is confined to lower levels below 2âkm altitude. This layer is characterised by a dry anomaly at lower levels (<span class=inline-formula>Î<i>r</i>â¼</span>â<span class=inline-formula>â</span>38â% in comparison to the clean scenario) and a dust peak at <span class=inline-formula>â¼</span>â1.3âkm height. Clean FT conditions were found above 2.3âkm. Our results reveal the important role that both dust and water vapour play in the radiative balance within the summer-SAL and winter-SAL. The dominant dust-induced shortwave (SW) radiative warming in summer (heating rates up to <span class=inline-formula>+</span>0.7âKâd<span class=inline-formula><sup>â1</sup></span>) is found slightly below the dust maximum. However, the dominant contribution of water vapour was observed as a net SW warming observed within the SAL (from 2.1 to 5.7âkm) and as a strong cold anomaly near the SAL's top (<span class=inline-formula>â</span>0.6âKâd<span class=inline-formula><sup>â1</sup></span>). The higher water vapour content found to be carried on the summer-SAL, despite being very low, represents a high relative variation in comparison to the very dry clean free troposphere in the subtropics. This relevant aspect should be properly taken into account in atmospheric modelling processes. In the case of the winter-SAL, we observed a dust-induced radiative effect dominated by SW heating (maximum heating of <span class=inline-formula>+</span>0.7âKâd<span class=inline-formula><sup>â1</sup></span> at 1.5âkm, near the dust peak); both dust and atmospheric water vapour impact heating in the atmospheric column. This is the case of the SW heating within the SAL (maximum near the <span class=inline-formula><i>r</i></span> peak), the dry anomaly at lower levels (<span class=inline-formula>Î<i>r</i>â¼</span>â<span class=inline-formula>â</span>38â% at 1âkm) and the thermal cooling (<span class=inline-formula>â¼</span>â0.3âKâd<span class=inline-formula><sup>â1</sup></span>) from the temperature inversion upwards. Finally, we hypothesise that the SAL can impact heterogeneous ice nucleation processes through the frequent occurrence of mid-level clouds observed near the SAL top at relatively warm temperatures. A dust event that affected Tenerife on August 2015 is simulated using the regional DREAM model to assess the role of dust and water vapour carried within SAL in the ice nucleation processes. The modelling results reproduce the arrival of the dust plume and its extension over the island and confirm the observed relationship between the summer-SAL conditions and the formation of mid- and high-level clouds." @default.
