Session 1A Highlighting the Work of the Pan-American Node of the WMO Sand and Dust Storm Warning Advisory and Assessment System

Monday, 13 January 2020: 8:30 AM-10:00 AM
207 (Boston Convention and Exhibition Center)
Host: 22nd Conference on Atmospheric Chemistry

This session seeks to increase the visibility and highlight the work of the Regional Node for Pan-America which is the youngest of the three SDS-WAS Nodes. Additionally, the Pan-American region is the home of the oldest dust observation station located at Ragged Point on the east coast of Barbados, the most easterly island in the Caribbean. This station, the Barbados Atmospheric Chemistry Observatory (BACO) is operated by the Univ. of Miami, partnered with the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry, Mainz, Germany.
