Western Atlantic Climate Study (WACS): Physical, optical, and chemical properties of atmospheric marine aerosols in Georges Bank and the Sargasso Sea aboard NOAA R/V Ronald H. Brown (2012-08-19 to 2012-08-28) and WHOI R/V Knorr (2014-05-20 to 2014-06-06) (NCEI Accession 0310824)

This dataset contains physical, optical, and chemical properties of atmospheric marine aerosols from two different cruises as part of the WACS project. The first cruise (WACS) was aboard NOAA R/V Ronald H. Brown from 19 August to 28 August 2012. The second cruise (WACS-2) was aboard WHOI R/V Knorr from 20 May to 06 June 2014. The data from each cruise is divided into multiple 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
