GRIP LANGLEY AEROSOL RESEARCH GROUP EXPERIMENT (LARGE) V1

The GRIP Langley Aerosol Research Group Experiment (LARGE) dataset was collected by the Langley Aerosol Research Group Experiment (LARGE), which measures ultrafine aerosol number density, total and non-volatile aerosol number density, dry aerosol size distribution, total and submicron aerosol absorption coefficients, total and submicron aerosol scattering coefficients, and total scattering and hemispheric backscattering coefficients. Instruments used during LARGE derived aerosol size statistics (mode, number and mass mean diameters, etc.), aerosol surface area and mass loading, aerosol extinction, single scattering albedo, and angstrom coefficients. This dataset was collected during the Genesis and Rapid Intensification Processes (GRIP) experiment, which a NASA Earth science field experiment. The major goal was to better understand how tropical storms form and develop into major hurricanes. NASA used the DC-8 aircraft, the WB-57 aircraft and the Global Hawk Unmanned Airborne System (UAS), configured with a suite of in situ and remote sensing instruments that were used to observe and characterize the lifecycle of hurricanes. The GRIP LARGE dataset collected data over the Gulf of Mexico from August 6, 2010 to September 22, 2010.

GRIP 兰利气溶胶研究小组实验（LARGE）数据集由兰利气溶胶研究小组实验（LARGE）收集而成，该数据集测量了超细气溶胶数量密度、总及不可挥发气溶胶数量密度、干燥气溶胶尺寸分布、总及亚微米气溶胶吸收系数、总及亚微米气溶胶散射系数，以及总散射和半球形背向散射系数。在LARGE实验期间使用的仪器推导了气溶胶尺寸统计量（包括模态、数量和体积平均直径等），气溶胶表面积和负荷量，气溶胶消光系数，单次散射反照率以及安格斯系数。该数据集是在创生与快速增强过程（GRIP）实验期间收集的，GRIP实验为美国宇航局地球科学野外实验。其主要目标是更深入地理解热带风暴如何形成并发展成为重大飓风。NASA利用DC-8飞机、WB-57飞机以及全球鹰无人机系统（UAS），并配备了一套原位和遥感仪器，用于观察和描述飓风的生命周期。GRIP LARGE数据集在2010年8月6日至2010年9月22日期间收集了墨西哥湾的数据。
