The DUSTER system has 4 channels, namely: 1064, 532 s/p and 355 nm. This system is calibrated with a half-wave plate using the 90° methodology. The data obtained from this system is correlated with AERONET sunphotometer data, and, when available, CALIPSO satellite data. In addition a trajectory model (HYSPLIT) is used to calculate backward trajectories to assess the origin of the dust polluted air parcels. The objective is to create a transport database of Saharan dust. © The Authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2018.engEDP Sciencesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/conferencePaper2021-04-12Guedes A.G.Landulfo E.Montilla-Rosero E.Lopes F.J.S.Hoelzemann J.J.Fernandez J.H.Silva M.P.A.Santos R.S.S.Guerrero-Rascado J.L.Alados-Arboledas L.10.1051/epjconf/201817605036
