Saharan dust absorption and refractive index from aircraft-based observations during SAMUM 2006 (2009, background): “The variability of the imaginary part of the complex refractive index depends crucially on the iron content and on its mineralogical phase (Alfaro et al., 2004; Lafon et al., 2006; Linke et al., 2006).”
Deep Blue Retrievals of Asian Aerosol Properties During ACE-Asia (2006, background): “The spectral absorption of dust is believed to be linked to the iron oxide content within these particles [1] and may have implications on the fertilization of the ocean due to wind blown dust.”
