摘要: Abstract During the past 20 years, organized experimental campaigns as well continuous development and implementation of air-pollution modeling have led to significant gains in understanding paths scales pollutant transport transformation greater Mediterranean region (GMR). The work presented this paper has two major objectives: 1) summarize existing knowledge on particulate matter (PM) GMR 2) illustrate some new findings related properties PM GMR. Findings from previous studies indicate that anthropogenically produced air pollutants European sources can be transported over long distances, reaching Africa, Atlantic Ocean, North America. natural origin, like Saharan dust, toward Ocean America mostly during warm period year. Recent model simulations area specific long-range tra...
