The Campaign

The NASA African Monsoon Multidisciplinary Analyses (NAMMA) was a NASA-led campaign that extended the international African Monsoon Multidisciplinary Analyses (AMMA) project. It aimed to study African easterly waves (AEWs), the impact of the Saharan Air Layer (SAL) on AEWs, and their potential to develop into tropical systems. NAMMA took place between August and September 2006 in and around the Cape Verde Islands. Four aircraft and numerous ground-based instruments collected data on the SAL and the storm environment during tropical cyclone formation. NAMMA was funded by NASA’s Atmospheric Dynamics and Radiation Science programs and NOAA.
