Aerosol scattering and mass concentration for different aerosol types

m 2 g -1 and the later values between 2.5 - 3 m 2 g -1 . The difference is more visible as the aerosol load increases and so do PM10 and σ550. During the continental polluted period (likely a mixture with desert dust aerosols) the mass scattering efficiency values exhibited higher variability and range from 1 up to 3 m 2 g -1 . The mass scattering efficiencies for the
