Scientific paper

The 150-km optical path between the astronomical observatories of Tenerife and La Palma provides an optimum scenario for on-ground tests of optical communication systems for intersatellite communications. Calculations are presented of the effects of Saharan dust invasions - one of the most significant disturbances in this region - on the optical attenuation in the 780-880-nm spectral band.
