Short summary
High aerosol loads over Alborán were mainly associated with desert dust transport and occasional advection from central European urban-industrial areas. The fine particle load observed over Alborán was surprisingly similar to that obtained over the other three nearest AERONET stations, suggesting homogeneous spatial distribution of fine particle loads over the four studied sites in spite of the large differences in local sources.
High aerosol loads over Alborán were mainly associated with desert dust transport and...
