Radiatively Important Trace Species (RITS) Field Campaign: Physical, optical, and chemical properties of atmospheric marine aerosols aboard NOAA R/V Surveyor in the central Pacific, 1993-03-20 to 1993-05-08 and 1993-11-21 to 1994-01-08 (NCEI Accession 0310738)

Description

This dataset contains physical, optical, and chemical properties of atmospheric marine aerosols from two different cruises aboard NOAA R/V Surveyor as part of the RITS project. The first cruise (RITS-93) took place from 20 March to 08 May 1993, and the second cruise (RITS-94) from 21 November 1993 to 08 January 1994. The data from each cruise is divided into five csv datasets, summarized as follows: Main - Navigation, Meteorology, and Scattering; Chemistry - Aerosol species concentrations at varying particle diameters; AOD - Aerosol optical depth at varying wavelengths; DMS - Seawater Dimethyl sulfide; Size Distribution - Particle Size Distribution
