Short summary
The seasonal cycle and optical properties of mineral dust aerosols in northern Africa were simulated for the period from 2006 to 2010 using the numerical atmospheric model ALADIN (Aire Limitée Adaptation dynamique Développement InterNational) coupled to the surface scheme SURFEX (SURFace EXternalisée). These simulations aim to quantify the dust emission and deposition and establish a three-dimensional dust aerosol distribution and extinction climatology over northern Africa.
