Short summary
Over the past decade, researchers at RADO-Bucharest have measured and analyzed aerosol properties to understand their optical and microphysical characteristics, seasonal variability, and transport pathways. Using advanced lidar and photometer techniques the study reveals that fine-mode aerosols dominate, with pollution-driven regimes and seasonal influences by dust, biomass burning, and marine sources highlighting the impact of regional pollution and long-range transport on local air quality.
