Popis: This study presents a new zenith looking narrow-band radiometer based system (ZEN), conceived for dust aerosol optical depth (AOD) monitoring. Our results suggest that ZEN is a suitable system to fill the current observational gaps and to complement observations performed by sun-photometer networks in order to improve mineral dust monitoring in remote locations. AERONET sun photometers at Izaña have been calibrated within the AERONET Europe TNA, supported by the European Community-Research Infrastructure Action under the FP7 15 ACTRIS grant agreement no. 262254.
