Climatological study for understanding the aerosol radiative effects at southwest Atlantic coast of Europe

Abstract In order to describe the means, variability and trends of the aerosol radiative effects on the southwest Atlantic coast of Europe, 11 years of aerosol light scattering (σsp) and 4 years of aerosol light absorption (σap) are analyzed. A 2006–2016 trend analysis of σsp for D
