NEAR-REAL-TIME PROCESSING OF A CEILOMETER NETWORK ASSISTED WITH SUN-PHOTOMETER DATA: MONITORING A DUST OUTBREAK OVER THE IBERIAN PENINSULA

The interest in the use of ceilometers for optical aerosol characterization has increased in the last few years.They operate continuously almost unattended and are also much less expensive than lidars; hence, they can be distributed in dense networks over large areas.However, due to the low signal-to-noise ratio it is not always possible to obtain

Abstract Background Exposure to fine particulate matter air pollutants (PM2.5) affects heart rate variability parameters, and levels of serum proteins associated with inflammation, hemostasis and thrombosis.This study investigated sources potentially responsible for cardiovascular and hematological effects in highway patrol troopers.Results Nine he
