The spatial and temporal characteristics of dust aerosols and their properties are assessed from satellite and ground-based sensors.  ...  DRE for LP is likely more negative due to fall out of larger particles during transport from CV to LP. However, separating the CERES-derived DRE by MODIS aerosol effective radii was difficult.  ...  The data were obtained through the NASA Langley Distributed Active Archive Systems and other data sets.  ...
