Study of a Saharan Dust Intrusion into the Atmosphere of Colombia

The Sahara Desert is one of the main sources of particulate matter (PM) in the world. This PM has the ability to affect air quality thousands of miles from the source. The intrusions of this dust in the Caribbean are well documented; however, no intrusions of this pollutant have been reported in lar...

description	The Sahara Desert is one of the main sources of particulate matter (PM) in the world. This PM has the ability to affect air quality thousands of miles from the source. The intrusions of this dust in the Caribbean are well documented; however, no intrusions of this pollutant have been reported in large Colombian cities. This article analyses and determines the possible relationship between the emissions of dust from the Sahara, and an episode of high pollution that occurred in Bogotá and Medellín at the end of June 2014. The data recorded by the air quality networks of Bogotá and Medellín, the dust column mass density of the Merra-2 project, and the results of the NMMB/BSC-Dust model were used. The origins and trajectories of air masses were tracked by implementing HYSPLIT. The aerosol subtype was obtained from the CALIOP-CALIPSO sensor.

Esse MP tem a capacidade de afetar a qualidade do ar a milhares de quilômetros da fonte. As mobilizações desse pó ao Caribe estão bem documentadas; contudo, não foram relatadas intrusões desse poluente em grandes cidades colombianas. Neste artigo, é analisada e determinada a possível relação entre as emissões de pó do Saara e um episódio de alta poluição registrado em Bogotá e Medellín no final de junho de 2014. Utilizaram-se os dados registrados pelas redes de qualidade do ar dessas cidades, a densidade mássica de coluna de pó do projeto Merra-2, os resultados do modelo NMMB/BSC-Dust.
