The UK SOLAS Dust Outflow and Deposition to the Ocean (DODO) project aims toquantify the chemical and microphysical properties of Saharan dust in the tropical Atlantic region.

Fieldwork has combined ship based measurements (PO332) with campaigns using the Facility for Airborne Atmospheric Measurements (FAAM) aircraft (from Dakar in Jan-Feb. 2006 with DABEX and Sep-Oct. 2006 with AMMA). Measurements have included Chemical composition, microphysics and optical properties of aerosols, Radiative fluxes, Trace gas chemistry.
