Combined Sensor Program (CSP): Physical, optical, and chemical properties of atmospheric marine aerosols aboard NOAA R/V Discoverer in the central and tropical western Pacific, 1996-03-15 to 1996-04-12 (NCEI Accession 0311408)
This dataset contains physical, optical, and chemical properties of atmospheric marine aerosols from aboard NOAA R/V Discoverer, collected 15 March to 12 April 1996 during the CSP field campaign.
The data is divided into three csv datasets, summarized as follows:
Main - Navigation, Meteorology, and Scattering;
Chemistry - Aerosol species concentrations at varying particle diameters;
Size Distribution - Particle Size Distribution
