Asian Pacific Regional Aerosol Characterization Experiment (ACE-Asia): Physical, optical, and chemical properties of atmospheric marine aerosols aboard NOAA R/V Ronald H. Brown in the western Pacific, 2001-03-15 to 2001-04-20 (NCEI Accession 0311457)
This dataset contains physical, optical, and chemical properties of atmospheric marine aerosols from aboard NOAA R/V Ronald H. Brown, collected 15 March to 20 April 2001 during the ACE-Asia field campaign.
The data is divided into seven csv datasets, summarized as follows:
Main - Navigation, Meteorology, and Scattering;
Chemistry - Aerosol species concentrations at varying particle diameters;
DMS - Seawater Dimethyl sulfide;
AOD - Aerosol optical depth at varying wavelengths;
Size Distribution (APS) - Aerodynamic Particle Size Distribution;
Size Distribution (DMPS) - Differential Mobility Particle Size Distribution;
Size Distribution - Merged version of the APS and DMPS datasets
