NAMMA LANGLEY AEROSOL RESEARCH GROUP EXPERIMENT (LARGE) V1

The NAMMA Langley Aerosol Research Group Experiment (LARGE) dataset contains data collected from the following in situ aerosol sensors: condensation nuclei counters, optical particle spectrometers, an aerodynamic particle sizer, and integrating nephelometers. These instruments measure aerosol number density, aerosol size distribution, total scattering and backscattering coefficients. These data files were generated during support of the NASA African Monsoon Multidisciplinary Analyses (NAMMA) campaign, a field research investigation sponsored by the Science Mission Directorate of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). This mission was based in the Cape Verde Islands, 350 miles off the coast of Senegal in west Africa. Commencing in August 2006, NASA scientists employed surface observation networks and aircraft to characterize the evolution and structure of African Easterly Waves (AEWs) and Mesoscale Convective Systems over continental western Africa, and their associated impacts on regional water and energy budgets.

NAMMA 兰利气溶胶研究组实验（LARGE）数据集收录了以下现场气溶胶传感器的数据：凝聚核计数器、光散射颗粒光谱仪、气动颗粒大小分析仪以及积分 nephelometers。这些仪器测量气溶胶数量密度、气溶胶尺寸分布、总散射和后向散射系数。这些数据文件是在支持美国国家航空航天局（NASA）非洲季风多学科分析（NAMMA）活动期间生成的，该活动是一项由国家航空航天局（NASA）科学任务部资助的现场研究调查。此次任务以佛得角群岛为基地，位于西非塞内加尔海岸350英里处。自2006年8月起，NASA科学家利用地表观测网络和飞机来描述西非大陆上空非洲东风波（AEWs）和中尺度对流系统（MCS）的演变和结构，以及它们对区域水资源和能量收支的影响。
