Atlantic Tradewind Ocean-Atmosphere Mesoscale Interaction Campaign (ATOMIC): Physical, optical, and chemical properties of atmospheric marine aerosols aboard NOAA R/V Ronald H. Brown in the tropical North Atlantic, 2020-01-07 to 2020-02-11 (NCEI Accession 0311369)
This dataset contains physical, optical, and chemical properties of atmospheric marine aerosols from aboard NOAA R/V Ronald H. Brown, collected 07 January to 11 February 2020 during the ATOMIC field campaign.
The data is divided into eight csv datasets, summarized as follows:
Main - Navigation, Meteorology, Scattering, and Absorption;
Chemistry - Aerosol species concentrations at varying particle diameters;
AOD - Aerosol optical depth at varying wavelengths;
Radon - Radon Concentration;
CCN - Cloud Condensation Nuclei;
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
