Abstract
The analysis has shown that transport of Saharan dust occurring in the central part of the Mediterranean are usually rather intensive in the atmospheric mass-loading capacity and take place in deeper atmospheric layers for a longer duration (approximately 2-4 days) than eastern Mediterranean dust events. The eastern transport usually originates from the Arabian Desert for short periods (approximately 1 day) and is restricted to a rather shallow atmospheric transport layer featured by low optical depth values. -from Authors
