This was surprising.

I mean, it was incredible.

It was like nature telling us, look, there's a tidal cycle here.

You guys can figure out what's going on.

So that was nice.

But, you know, these molecules are pretty reactive.

So the sun comes down and breaks that bond through photolysis, photolytic decomposition.

And then once you have that, your halogen atom is split off from the molecule, undergoes other chemistry.

OK.

And later, not my group, but other groups found that these tiny particles could grow under the right conditions and they can impact clouds.

And then you really are into a climate impact.

Well, I was approached by some German colleagues that had the idea of having a station there.

The main person who thought about it was an oceanographer.

So he was really interested in that region, partly because a whole load of Saharan dust gets deposited in that part of the ocean every year, and that can stimulate ocean biological processes.

So he approached me as someone who was active in this ocean air research and said, you know, we found this station.

It would be a great place for you to do your research as well.

What do you think?

I do remember it very clearly.

At that time, there was a dirt track that culminated in a sort of hut.

And then a few hundreds of metres away was the site that we were looking at.
