Short summary
The annual aerosol cycle over Mindelo, Cabo Verde, was characterized using lidar and sun photometer measurements between July 2021 and August 2023. The observations were used to define and characterize the aerosol-related seasons at this location. These are the dust season (June–September), when thick layers of Saharan dust are transported over Mindelo, and the mixing season (November–March), when this dust is mixed with smoke from the African continent. April, May, and October were defined as transition months.
