Southern Hemisphere Marine Aerosol Characterization Experiment (ACE-1) Data at UCAR/JOSS/NOAA/CODIAC

The Southern Hemisphere Marine Aerosol Characterization Experiment (ACE-1) was the first in a series of experiments which characterized the chemical and physical processes controlling the evolution and properties of atmospheric aerosols and the role in radiative climate forcing. The field phase of ACE-1 began 1 October 1995 with data collection to support ship and aircraft latitudinal transects. Intensive operations in the Southern Pacific Ocean occurred from 15 November to 14 December 1995 from an operations center in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia. Data collection activities concluded on 25 December 1995. For more information and access to data see: http://data.eol.ucar.edu/codiac/projs?ACE-1
