Can volcanic dust suspended from surface soil and deserts of Iceland be transferred to Central Balkan similarly to African dust (Sahara)?
Original language description
In this work we use chemical fingerprints as characteristics ratios of specific crustal elements to investigate the long range transport of volcanic aerosols from Iceland. Volcanic dust enters the atmosphere during suspension processes from Icelandic deserts, but mainly from the dust hot spots in remote areas in Iceland, and it is transmitted to the central Balkan area (Belgrade). For this purpose, backward trajectories from Belgrade in 2012 and 2013, simultaneous with atmospheric aerosols measurements, were calculated by using the Hybrid Single Particle Lagrangian Integrated Trajectory (HYSPLIT) model. We found that about 17 percent of air masses passed over Icelandic territory and arrived to Balkan area. In almost all of these episodes ratios of some investigated elements in suburban aerosols of Balkan area corresponded to the ratios of elements investigated in surface soil of the Rangárvellir area South Iceland in the vicinity of volcanoes. We identified several episodes, and September 18 to 20
