Abstract

The DACCIWA project was undertaken jointly by a consortium to investigate the role of dynamic aerosol-chemistry-cloud interactions in environmental pollution in South Western Africa (SWA). The DACCIWA project was proposed to operate from December 1, 2013 till November 30, 2018, with financial support from the European Union worth €8.75M. The scope and logistics of the project demanded an international and multi-disciplinary approach. The consortium was composed of sixteen partners from four European and two West African countries and consisted of universities, research institutes, and operational weather and climate services.
