Campaign Objective: 

The Southern African Regional Science Initiative (SAFARI) 2000 is an international science field campaign aimed at developing a better understanding of the southern Africa earth-atmosphere-human system. The goal of SAFARI 2000 is to identify and understand the relationship between the physical, chemical, biological, and anthropogenic processes that underlie the biogeophysical and biogeochemical systems of southern Africa. Particular emphasis will be placed upon biogenic, pyrogenic, and anthropogenic emissions - their characterization and quantification, their transport and transformations in the atmosphere, their influence on regional climate and meteorology, their eventual deposition, and the effects of this deposition on ecosystems. To accomplish this, participants will:

 

- integrate remote sensing, computational modeling, airborne sampling and ground-based studies;

- link the biological, physical, and chemical components of the regional ecosystems by integrating them within the semi-closed atmospheric gyre persistent over the region;

- combine the expertise and knowledge base of regional and international scientists.
