The second Aerosol Characterization Experiment (ACE-2): Physical, optical, and chemical properties of atmospheric marine aerosols aboard IBSS R/V Vodyanitskiy in the subtropical northeast Atlantic, 1997-06-19 to 1997-07-23 (NCEI Accession 0311148)

Metadata Updated: March 1, 2026

This dataset contains physical, optical, and chemical properties of atmospheric marine aerosols from aboard IBSS R/V Vodyanitskiy, collected 19 June to 23 July 1997 during the ACE-2 field campaign. The data is divided into six csv datasets, summarized as follows: Main - Navigation, Meteorology, and Scattering; Chemistry - Aerosol species concentrations at varying particle diameters; DMS - Seawater Dimethyl sulfide; AOD - Aerosol optical depth at varying wavelengths; Size Distribution (APS) - Aerodynamic Particle Size Distribution; Size Distribution (DMPS) - Differential Mobility Particle Size Distribution
