description

The matter of this project is the investigation of the large scale south transport of Saharan dust originated by critical weather conditions such as sandstorm and dustvi/ind. A new sensitive sunphoto-meter has been developed for this purpose. With ten instruments a network has been installed southerly of the Sahara across Africa. It is the aim to determine the main sources of the mineral dust and its further transport to the South.
