Scientific paper

Convective plumes and vortices produce an efficient vertical transport of dust that supplies significant amounts of aerosols to the atmospheric boundary layer, and consequently might play an important role in aerosol-climate interactions. Our aim is to contribute to the understanding of the direct effects of mineral dust on climate. Our main objective is to quantify the intensity and variability of the surface flux and vertical transport of mineral dust under convectively unstable conditions, and to study their relationship with changes in local and regional atmospheric aerosol content. We will describe the suit of instruments that are being used to measure the variability of atmospheric convection, radiation, and surface fluxes of heat, water vapor, and dust, in addition to their relationship with atmospheric aerosol concentration and the feedbacks between convection and boundary layer aerosol concentration. Sample measurements will be presented and planned future campaigns will be described.
