Texas Air Quality - Gulf of Mexico Atmospheric Composition and Climate Study (TexAQS/GoMACCS): Physical, optical, and chemical properties of atmospheric marine aerosols aboard NOAA R/V Ronald H. Brown in the Gulf of America, 2006-07-27 to 2006-09-12 (NCEI Accession 0310784)
This dataset contains physical, optical, and chemical properties of atmospheric marine aerosols aboard NOAA R/V Ronald H. Brown, collected 27 July to 12 September 2006 as part of the TexAQS/GoMACCS field campaign.
The data is divided into eleven csv datasets, summarized as follows:
Main - Navigation, Meteorology, Scattering, and Absorption;
Chemistry - Aerosol species concentrations at varying particle diameters;
CCN - Cloud Condensation Nuclei;
AOD (x3) - Aerosol optical depth at varying wavelengths;
DMS - Seawater Dimethyl sulfide;
Radon - Radon Concentration;
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
