Desert dust profiling product dataset collection, Italy 2015-2021
This dataset provides the dust backscatter and extinction coefficient profiles at 532 nm and their respective errors, obtained at Potenza and Ispra stations, Italy, between the years 2015 and 2021. The dust profiles have been retrieved using ACTRIS/EARLINET Level 2.0 quality assured data and applying the methodology of Tesche et al. (2009; https://doi.org/10.1029/2009JD011862). This methodology uses the particle backscatter coefficient and the particle depolarisation ratio at 532 nm, therefore the present dataset depends on the availability of these products in the ACTRIS/EARLINET database. The errors of the dust backscatter and extinction coefficient were calculated by applying the law of error propagation to the retrieval equations. The four new parameters were added written to the same file as the data used to retrieve them, so each file in the present dataset contains the original ACTRIS/EARLINET data as well.

Continuous δ13C-CO2 and δ13C-CH4 measurements in the atmosphere – data gathered at Lamezia Terme (Calabria, Southern Italy) between July and December 2024
This dataset features continuous measurements of δ13C-CO2 and δ13C-CH4 at Lamezia Terme in Calabria, Southern Italy performed between July and December 2024. The measurements are preliminary in nature and have not been subject to calibration procedures due to the temporary absence of a working – and widely accepted – standard in the European network. Manual quality assurance procedures and filters have however been applied to the dataset.

Dust event identification product dataset collection over Monte Cimone, Italy 2003-2023
This dataset collection provides the total, fine and coarse particle concentration measured with an optical particle counter at Monte Cimone, Italy, between the years 2003 and 2023. The fine particle concentration is derived from the particle concentration of particles with a diameter lower than 1µm and the coarse particle concentration from particles with a diameter larger than 1µm. Besides that, the dataset contains the PMcoarse concentration, which is the PM concentration calculated from the coarse particle size distribution, and the PM10 concentration. The last column reports a flag whether the respective day was affected by dust transport or not, which was identified using the method presented in Duchi et al., 2016 (10.12952/journal.elementa.000085).
