Some areas of focus include:
1) Aerosol physical and chemical properties (dust, biomass burning, black carbon, organic carbon, etc., natural and anthropogenic sources.....)
2) Cloud formation and precipitation perturbations from aerosol mixtures
3) Transport processes, teleconnection between dry and wet regions and beyond
4) Monsoon Dynamics: West Africa monsoon, Arabian Sea , Asian monsoon, maritime continent processes
5) Desert, arid and semi-arid region processes (radiative and dynamics),
6) Effect of dust, SAL on African easterly waves, and hurricanes
7) High-resolution modeling, regional and global scales, weather and climate scales
8) Satellite remote sensing
9) In-situ and field campaign observations
