Model Components Necessary to Capture a Dust Plume Pattern Over the Mediterranean Sea
Our off-line 3D transport model of mineral dust has been used to study a dust episode of considerable extent over the Mediterranean. As shown also by satellite observations a distinct dust plume developed over...

Chapter
Importance of the Source Term and of the Size Distribution to Model the Mineral Dust Cycle
We have developed an aerosol model that describes the aerosol size distribution and computes number concentrations (Schulz et al., 1996). This model is embedded in a global off-line tracer transport model describ...

Quantitative Remote Sensing of African Dust Transport to the Mediterranean
We present here an overview of our quantitative studies of African dust transport to the Mediterranean, based on Meteosat and CZCS spaceborne images of the reflected sunlight, and coincident exogeneous meteoro...

Calbindin-D28K (CaBP) levels and calcium currents in acutely dissociated epileptic neurons
Nerve cells that lack the cytoplasmic Ca2+ binding protein Calbindin-D28K (CaBP) appear to be selectively vulnerable to Ca2+-related injury consistent with a postulated intraneuronal Ca2+-buffering role of CaBP. ...

234Th: An Ambiguous Tracer of Biogenic Particle Export from Northwestern Mediterranean Surface Waters
As part of the DYFAMED programme in the Ligurian sea, a record of 234Th particulate fluxes has been obtained with sediment traps moored at 200 m depth from February 1988 through 1989. This site, situated in the c...

Non-steady-state biological removal of atmospheric particles from Mediterranean surface waters
IT has recently been suggested that the deposition of mineral aerosol particles, primarily transported from Africa during sporadic but intense events1,2, may have a profound influence on the geochemistry and the ...

Preservation of organic matter during salinity excursions
Sediment in a core recovered from the western Mediterranean contains anomalously high concentrations of dissolved strontium, calcium, chloride and sulphate. These unusual results mirror the effects of early di...

The biological production of marine suspended barite and the barium cycle in the Western Mediterranean Sea
Suspended particulate barium was measured in the Western Mediterranean along 4 profiles sampled during the PHYCEMED 1 cruise in 1981. The non-terrigenous fraction of particulate barium (i.e. excess Ba; Baxs) can ...

Neutron activation analysis: A simple versatile program for automated gamma spectrometry with a personal computer
A set of interactive routines has been developed to use a personal computer for instrumental neutron activation analysis. The program operates a multichannel analyzer by remote control and output concentration...

Multi-element neutron activation analysis measurements towards the geochemistry of particulate matter exchange between continent—Atmosphere—Ocean
Sampling of marine aerosol and ocean water particulate matter yields very small quantities of material. INAA is used for routine analysis since it provides measurements of as many as 25 elements and permits mu...
