This document summarizes a presentation given by Francesco Benincasa and Enric Terradellas about the WMO SDS-WAS (Sand and Dust Storm Warning Advisory and Assessment System) regional center for Northern Africa, Middle East, and Europe. The presentation describes the goals of SDS-WAS to provide dust observation, prediction, and warning systems and access to dust-related data and information through a web portal. It also provides an overview of software tools developed to access, visualize, and download dust-related data products on the portal.
