Abstract: (1563 Views)
In this paper, the optical and physical properties of the aerosols, including their optical depth and Angstrom exponent, were analyzed for the Kuwaiti station from 2006-2018. The optical depth (Angstrom exponent) of the aerosols increases (decreases) in spring and summer seasons. Dust particles are dominant aerosol type in the atmosphere of Kuwait and mainly are added to the atmosphere in spring and summer. Two main sources of dust in the Middle East, Tigris- Euphrates basin and the Arabian Peninsula, are responsible for dust particles of Kuwait. Dust sources of the Arabian Peninsula (Tigris- Euphrates basin) are often active in the spring (summer) times.
