Abstract

CAPEX is a European project to investigate aerosol particles, radiation, cloud properties, precipitation and radioactivity over Portugal. During the campaign, carried out during the first fortnight June 2006 at Evora, Portugal (38deg34´ N, 7deg54´ W, 293 m a.s.l.), synoptic conditions favoured the arrival of air masses coming from Europe, Northern Africa and Mediterranean basin at several levels. In this study, two complex profiles, including layers coming from Europe and Sahara desert, are analyzed by a combination of Lidar and Cimel CE-318-4 data. Good agreements were found between them.
