Introduction


This blog is intended to be a more or less daily diary about the MOLA (MObile LAboratory) and its participation in the DOMINO campaign. So let's start.
First, let me explain what MOLA is. It's a van, filled with weird scientific instruments for atmospheric measurements of particulate matter and gases. The great thing about MOLA is that we cannot only bring all this stuff to where we want but that we actually can measure while driving - so be prepared, maybe we're just behind you and your car! ;-)

Currently, we're preparing to participate in an atmospheric measurement campaign called DOMINO, which takes place close to Huelva, southern Spain. To go there, we'll drive MOLA all the way down from Mainz in Germany.

Our trip will start on Sunday, November 16. If you are interested in our progress and adventures on the way down to Spain, just pass by and watch out for the hottest news about MOLA! :)
