MONEX scientists are thus doing the only thing they can do-everything. That includes searching for pollution and Siberian dust over Borneo (which may affect the rain and winds), keeping a weather eye on cold surges (masses of low-temperature air moving rapidly down from Siberia) and sending up balloons into equatorial air currents. All the while, satellites provide an overview with hourly pictures...
