Dust storms are considered natural hazards which affect ecosystems for a short-time interval ranging from a few hours to a few days. Focusing on the Sahara desert, this book provides a review on the knowledge about the dust aerosol optical and physico-chemical properties, the seasonal variability of dust outbreaks, and the dust source regions.
