  abstract = {{D}uring the boreal summer, mesoscale convective systems generated over {W}est {A}frica propagate westward and interact with {A}frican easterly waves, and dust plumes transported from the {S}ahel and {S}ahara by the {A}frican easterly jet. {O}nce off {W}est {A}frica, the vortices in the wake of these mesoscale convective systems evolve in a complex environment sometimes leading to the development of tropical storms and hurricanes, especially in {S}eptember when sea surface temperatures are high. {N}umerical weather predictions of cyclogenesis downstream of {W}est {A}frica remains a key challenge due to the incomplete understanding of the clouds-atmospheric dynamics-dust interactions that limit predictability. {T}he primary objective of the {C}louds-{A}tmospheric {D}ynamics-{D}ust {I}nteractions in {W}est {A}frica ({CADDIWA}) project is to improve our understanding of the relative contributions of the direct, semidirect, and indirect radiative effects of dust on the dynamics of tropical waves as well as the intensification of vortices in the wake of offshore mesoscale convective systems and their evolution into tropical storms over the {N}orth {A}tlantic. {A}irborne observations relevant to the assessment of such interactions (active remote sensing, in situ microphysics probes, among others) were made from 8 to 21 {S}eptember 2021 in the tropical environment of {S}al {I}sland, {C}ape {V}erde. {T}he environments of several tropical cyclones, including {T}ropical {S}torm {R}ose, were monitored and probed. {T}he airborne measurements also serve the purpose of regional model evaluation and the validation of spaceborne wind, aerosol and cloud products pertaining to satellite missions of the {E}uropean {S}pace {A}gency and {EUMETSAT} (including the {A}eolus, {E}arth{CARE}, and {IASI} missions).},
