abstract = {The Hybrid Single-Particle Lagrangian Integrated Trajectories (HYSPLIT) model has been applied to
calculate the spatial and temporal distributions of dust originating from North Africa. The model has been
configured to forecast hourly particulate matter#10 mm(PM10) dust concentrations focusing on the impacts
over the southern Iberian Peninsula. Two full years (2008 and 2009) have been simulated and compared
against surface background measurement sites. A statistical analysis using discrete and categorical evaluations
is presented. The model is capable of simulating the occurrence of Saharan dust episodes as observed at
the measurement stations and captures the generally higher levels observed in eastern Andalusia, Spain, with
respect to the western Andalusia station. But the simulation tends to underpredict the magnitude of the dust
concentration peaks. The model has also been qualitatively compared with satellite data, showing generally
good agreement in the spatial distribution of the dust column.},
