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.
