Short summary
The Urmia Lake, a hypersaline lake in Northwest Iran, has the potential to act as a source of mineral atmospheric aerosols. To find how active it is, we installed an azimuthal scanning polarization lidar at its southwestern coast. We just studied the plumes. During the campaign (11–29 September 2022), we recorded 64 aerosol plumes. We categorized the aerosols into dust, salt-dust, and wet-salt particles. We found 25 % of the plumes were dust dominant, and the rest were contained salt or salt-dust.
