The strong Saharan dust event over Europe reached our measurement locations at the Helmos Hellenic Atmospheric Aerosol and Climate Station (HAC2) in Greece and the Sonnblick Observatory (SBO) in Austria. The instrument PINE (Portable Ice Nucleation Experiment), continuously operated at both stations, measured a strong increase of the ice-nucleating particle (INP) concentration upon arrival of the dust at SBO on March 15th and at HAC2 on March 16th.
