Short summary
Due to the major radiative role of dust in Climate Change, a vertical assessment of the long-wave (and net) dust direct radiative effect of both fine and coarse dust, separately, is introduced. The study relies on an intense Saharan dust outbreak across the Iberian Peninsula, as observed by five lidar stations with coverage from south-west to north-east. A comparative evaluation with respect to total dust (no separation) is also performed. It complements a similar study in the short-wave range.
