18 Objectives Characterization of mineralogical and isotopic signatures of mineral dust as a function of their origin Paleoclimatological implications Analysis - Mineralogical composition - Elemental composition - Isotopes of Sr and Nd (Pb) Problem of local contribution? to be quantified

19 Conclusions of SOP0 at M Bour Good conditions thanks to collaboration with IRD Aerosol event of Feb. 3 of moderate intensity was probably a mixture of dust + BB The period of measurements for aerosol physical and chemical properties was a bit too short Optical and deposition measurements have been continued (beautiful dust event in March, 2006) A post-doc will make work progress at LOA on the link between in-situ, optic and satellite measurements during the SOP0 (Yevgeny Derimian,CNES, Dec. 2006)
