SOP-0 implementation
Objectives:
To provide high quality in-situ and remote sensing measurements of mineral dust and biomass burning aerosol and combinations of the two
To provide high quality spectral measurements of the effects of aerosol upon the radiation budget.
To determine the consistency of in-situ/satellite/ surface based observations/retrievals
To better determine the source regions, source strengths and emission factors of aerosols/gases.
Improvement and validation of numerical models (global and regional, climate and NWP)

Radiosonde asents/local synoptic visibility measurements
Radiosonde ascents will be requested 2 times/day during the SOP-0 at sites close to the aircraft operations.
Local synoptic visibility/significant weather from Met stations will be reported to the operations centre at Niamey airport.

Deployment of aircraft
F20 – 15th January to 15th February (will be cut to 3 weeks according to Jaques Pelon)
ATR-42 – 15th January to 15th February (will be cut to 3 weeks according to Jaques Pelon).
BAe146 – 9th January (transit out) – 17th January (back to UK).
All aircraft will be based in Niamey (although the BAe147 may also base in Dakar for a period).

DABEX – operating range
BAe146
Approximate operating range when operating from Niamey at:-
a) Transit speed (30,000ft)
b) Science speed (5,000ft)
• Niamey – Sal: possible at 30,000ft
• Niamey – Dakar: not possible at 5,000ft (science speed)
Need more information on diversion airports etc.

Modelling – NWP & climate models in the Met Office
Met Office global NWP and CAM models have been trialling inclusion of mineral dust. Climate model simulations need improvement via validation.
NWP modelsa) Initial calculations have been performed using fixed climatologies
and show a relatively large effect on AEJ.b) Further calculations are planned using interactive dust model
(under development). The data from SOP-0 will be used for improving the physical and radiative properties of mineral dust and biomass burning particles and for validation of the production/transport/ deposition of aerosols.
Climate modelsa) Biomass burning and mineral dust modules are included, but they
are poorly constrained and do not interact with each other. The model can be driven by meteorological data. Data will be used for both improving the aerosol parameterisations in the climate model.

Training
Wherever possible African meteorologists/ scientists will be encouraged to fully participate in:-
a)Flight planningb)Flight decision makingc)Flight debriefs
New CAO regulations make it difficult to carry ‘unauthorised’ scientists on the BAe146 which is the only practical aircraft for flying guest scientists.

Solar effects are only part of the story - the terrestrial radiative effect is also significant. Measurements using ARIES (cm-1 resolution interferometer) clearly show
the effect of Saharan dust in the 8-12m atmospheric window.

Cloud screened data
The Geostationary Earth Radiation Budget
instrument (GERB) shows significantly less OLR over
regions of the desert during July 2003. What is
the explanation?
Data from 12Z, July 2003
ESSC, Reading University, 13 May, 2004
If we account for the effect of the aerosol on the SW at the surface which reduces the surface temperature and hence reduces the OLR as well, we end up with this.
Which is in good agreement with the dOLR between GERB and the UM.
