International audience As operational support to define the Clouds-Atmospheric Dynamics-Dust Interactions in West Africa (CADDIWA) field campaign which took place in the Cape Verde area, the coupled regional model WRF-CHIMERE is deployed in forecast mode during the summer 2021.

On this route, we find Cape Verde, which was used as a base for measurements during the CADDIWA campaign.
