Résumé
Particle number size distribution in dust plumes and its modification as the plume travels over the Anatolia were investigated by measuring particle number size distributions at two stations: one located on the Mediterranean coast of Turkey and the other on the Anatolian plateau. Clustering of backtrajectories revealed six trajectory clusters at the Marmaris station and nine clusters at the Ankara station. Cluster 6 in Marmaris and clusters 6, 7 and 9 in Ankara stations had the potential to transport Saharan dust to stations. Concentration of particles with D ≤ 1 μm increased during dust events in the Ankara station, but decreased at the Marmaris station. Higher PM
