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