24- Identification of Aerosols’ Optical Properties in the Caribbean Area Using Ascending Hierarchical Clustering Analysis [Euphrasie-Clotilde et al (2025)]

Over the past decade, although the frequency of dust episodes has remained stable, their intensity has increased, necessitating more advanced characterization methods. The integration of multiple optical parameters enables a more comprehensive assessment of their interactions, which is essential for deepening our understanding of particulate pollution and its implications for sustainable development. In our latest […]
Analysis of aerosols optical properties in the Caribbean

The KaruSphère laboratory led the study that resulted in the publication of the article entitled “Identification of Aerosols’ Optical Properties in the Caribbean Area Using Ascending Hierarchical Clustering Analysis”. This study employs an innovative hierarchical ascendant classification method to identify aerosol regimes in the Caribbean basin (Barbados, Guadeloupe, Puerto Rico, and Cuba).
