Abstract. The clear-sky, instantaneous Direct Radiative Effect (DRE) by all and anthropogenic particles is calculated during Sahara dust intrusions in the Mediterranean basin, to evaluate the role of anthropogenic particle's radiative effects and to obtain a better estimate of the DRE by desert dust. The clear-sky aerosol DRE is calculated by a two stream radiative transfer model in the solar (0.3–4 μm) and infrared (4–200 μm) spectral range, at the top of the atmosphere (ToA) and at the Earth's surface (sfc). Aerosol optical properties by AERONET sun-sky photometer measurements and aerosol vertical profiles by EARLINET lidar measurements, both performed at Lecce (40.33° N, 18.10° E) during Sahara dust intrusions occurred from 2003 to 2006 year, are used to perform radiative transfer simulations. Instantaneous values at 0.44 μm of the real (n) and imaginary (k) refractive index and of the of aerosol optical depth (AOD) vary within the 1.33–1.55, 0.0037–0.014, and 0.2–0.7 range, respectively during the analyzed dust outbreaks. Fine mode particles contribute from 34% to 85% to the AOD by all particles. The complex atmospheric chemistry of the Mediterranean basin that is also influenced by regional and long-range transported emissions from continental Europe and the dependence of dust optical properties on soil properties of source regions and transport pathways, are responsible for the high variability of n, k, and AOD values and of the fine mode particle contribution. Instantaneous all-wave (solar+infrared) DREs that are negative as a consequence of the cooling effect by aerosol particles, span the – (32–10) Wm−2 and the – (44–20) Wm−2 range at the ToA and surface, respectively. The instantaneous all-wave DRE by anthropogenic particles that is negative, varies within – (13–7) Wm−2 and – (18–11) Wm−2 at the ToA and surface, respectively. It represents from 41% up to 89% and from 32% up to 67% of the all-wave DRE by all particles at the ToA and surface, respectively during the analysed dust outbreaks. A linear relationship to calculate the DRE by natural particles in the solar and infrared spectral range is provided.

AbstractThe optical properties of organosilicate glass (OSG) samples were investigated with spectroscopic ellipsometry. We found that samples with dramatically higher hardness had higher indices of refraction (RI) and thus higher electron densities and lower relative porosities than films with lower hardnesses. The reverse was true for films with low hardnesses. As well, these films did not have the same optical properties as porous SiO2 across the spectral range measured, which we show has significant implications for the in-line optical metrology of these materials.
