The limited level of understanding of the interaction between desert dust and the climate arises to a large extent from the high spatio-temporal variations of this aerosol concentration and properties. Remote sensing from space is an essential tool to improve the knowledge of this aerosol, as it can provide a long-term and global observation. The thermal infrared (TIR) is a spectral domain where the desert dust remote sensing is particularly efficient. Thus a dust index called IDDI (Infrared Difference Dust Index), has been developed through the use of the TIR channel of Meteosat over land.This study focusses on correcting the failings of the current IDDI and using the new MSG/SEVIRI TIR channels to develop a new multispectral IDDI.Our appr...
