Finds documents with exactly this word group, in exactly this word order and spelling (e.g. "employer branding").
Finds documents with both search terms (e.g. sales AND bonus).
Finds documents with one or the other search term (e.g. porsche OR volkswagen).
Finds documents with all search terms. Blank space is understood as AND (e.g. man robot production).
Finds documents with no appearance of the word behind NOT (e.g. ford NOT "harrison ford").
Finds documents where the search term is mentioned at least "n" times."n" may be any number (e.g. COUNT(gear)>8).
Finds documents with both search terms in any word order, permitting "n" words as a maximum distance between them. Best choose between 15 and 30 (e.g. NEAR(recruit, professionals, 20)).
Finds documents with the search term in word versions or composites. The asterisk * marks whether you wish them BEFORE, BEHIND, or BEFORE and BEHIND the search term (e.g. lightweight*, *lightweight, *lightweight*).
Finds documents with the search term in different spellings. "?" allows only one character (e.g. organi?ation).
Special characters are understood as AND (e.g. Miller Bros. & Sons).

Abstract

The chapter delves into the complex dynamics of aerosols above the Mediterranean Sea, driven by diverse sources like desert dust, anthropogenic pollutants, marine aerosols, and biomass burning. Using satellite data, particularly from MODIS, it reveals distinct seasonal patterns in aerosol optical depth (AOD), with higher values in summer and spring, and lower in autumn and winter. The study also examines the seasonal variability of PM concentrations and carbonaceous aerosols, showing higher levels in winter due to increased anthropogenic emissions and lower boundary layer heights. The chapter underscores the importance of these patterns in understanding regional air quality and climate, making it a valuable resource for environmental and atmospheric researchers.
