What we didnt do

• No dust outflow over the ocean and in
  particularly nothing towards Capo Verde,
  therefore no work with the ship POSEIDON
  (although they did collect aerosol during DABEX)
• Almost complete cloudy conditions meant very
  little radiation work at all, and also meant we
  abandoned trying to hit satellite overpasses to
  some extent.
