California Research at the Nexus of Air Quality and Climate Change (CalNex) Field Campaign: Physical, optical, and chemical properties of atmospheric marine aerosols aboard WHOI R/V Atlantis along the California coast, 2010-05-14 to 2010-06-09 (NCEI Accession 0310783)
This dataset contains physical, optical, and chemical properties of atmospheric marine aerosols from aboard WHOI R/V Atlantis, collected 14 May to 09 June 2010 during the CalNex field campaign.
The data is divided into nine 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;
DMS - Seawater Dimethyl sulfide;
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
