 V. Ramanathan will be US Team leader / coordinator onboard the ship from Malé to Port 
Luis (from Feb 12 - Mar 6).  Sethu Raman will relieve Ramanathan in Port Luis for the 
cruise back to Malé-Goa (from Mar 7 - Mar 31).

 J. Meywerk (Spectroradiometric / others):  will participate onboard for the whoruise.lll

 D. Lubin (Lidar / radiometric): will get onboard in Malé (3/9) for the cruise to Port Luis.

 W. Conant (Lidar /  radiometric):  will arrive in Malé on 2/14, work for 2 weeks with J. 
Lobert on surface site radiometric instruments.  Will leave Malé on 3/3 arriving in Port Luis 
on3/5 to relieve Lubin for the cruise back to Malé-Goa

 H. Nguyen will be the in-situ project administrator for the US Team in Goa until the ship 
rts.

 J. Lobert arrive in Malé on 1/15, then leave on 2/18.  Caretaking of surface site will be 
turned over to local technician(s).

  S. Raman and students will travel to Goa to oversee the loading and installation of all 
sounding equipment.



ACTION Items:

1.  Ramanathan in his upcoming trip to Indian to identify an Indian engineer / technician to 
launch Kley¹s sondes; and

2.  Ramanathan to request K. Zalpuri to operate Dickerson¹s CO and Ozone instruments 
and Prospero¹s aerosol impactor.

3.  Ramanathan to invite J. Ogren or A. Clarke to participate.

4.  Lubin to contact S. Rowland.

5.  H. Nguyen and J. Lobert in their upcoming site selection expedition in Maldives to 
identify local technician who will care for instruments at the Malé site.  If not, then 
Ramanathan will identify personnel, most likely, from India.

6.  As soon as possible, all shipboard participants (except Indian nationals who are not US 
citizens) to submit to INDOEX Project Office (H. Nguyen):

- Name as appears on US Passport
- US Passport #, Location and Date Issued
- Indian Visa #, Location and Date Issued

H. Nguyen to foward the above to LVG. Rao and K.S. Zalpuri for Indian goverment 
clearance.

7.  All SIO and UCSD instrument PI¹s to submit to INDOEX Project Office (H. Nguyen / 
J. des Rosiers) their instrument descriptions, declared values, dimensions of containers, 
and weights.

8.  S. Raman to send workstatement and budget for his participation, to INDOEX Project 
Office for eventual submission to NSF.

9.  K. Zalpuri to check inventory of filters of Prospero¹s aerosol impacter to ensure 
sufficient number to be available for the cruise, then report this back to Prospero and H. 
Nguyen.

10.  Jha to convey the group's request to Krishnamurti that the FSU model analysis be 
done for the INDOEX domain during the period of Jan 15 - April 7, 1998.

11.  Contigency Plans:
ISS (If ISS unavailable, will launch Vaisala sondes thru D. Kley¹s system)
CLASS (to be shipped to Goa, S. Raman will take care of installation and operations)
