Short summary
By coupling lidar on board a ULA and ground-based lidar measurements, this paper highlights aerosol transport over the Strait of Gibraltar. It shows that the lidar-derived aerosol optical properties can be different from what is commonly accepted. It presents unprecedented vertical profiles over this region and relates them to the origin of air masses. The results are based on ground, airborne, and spaceborne observations, as well as multiple retro-trajectory analyses.
