As part of the Met Office relocation project (now essentially complete),
art-work is to be commissioned for the HQ building in Exeter. For more details see:- http://www.metoffice.com/corporate/relocation/art.html One of the artists has now been asked to prepare work which is described under (selective quotes from an e-mail I received from her) " What I want to make is a large wall mounted cast of a Saharan wind ripple with a glass box inset into it containing a miniature sand dune made from the dust which has travelled over 3000 km from North West Africa and been gathered in and around Bracknell and Exeter ..... I now know that it is possible to collect a small amount of it and also it is possible with the help of the forecasters to pinpoint exactly where the dust has originated from. My plan is to gather as much dust as possible over the next 6/8 months in and around Bracknell and Exeter. " What we want is YOUR help in collecting dust samples after any particular event. For advice on such, see:- http://homepage.ntlworld.com/booty.w...tm#dustreports It is obviously going to be difficult to *collect* (we usually wash it off the cars) sufficient dust/sand, but only _samples_ are required - not enough to make the entire moulding! If you do collect same (on a car left out after an event - perhaps swept carefully into an envelope), then let me know and I'll send you my address for centrally collecting same:- my email address is mg.rowleyATntlworld.com ... replace the 'AT' in the usual way. Please ensure you note the date and location of the fall - this will be useful when sorting out which event to credit the deposit to.
