Abstract
In situ atmospheric measurements using the SAFIRE Falcon20 Core Instrument suite onboard the FA20 - SAFIRE aircraft for the RAIN4DUST - Contribution of flash floods to the variability of dust emission in the Sahara project (flight reference: fs26).
Data were collected over the Central Saharan mountains, Chad area.
