North Atlantic Aerosols and Marine Ecosystems Study (NAAMES): Physical, optical, and chemical properties of atmospheric marine aerosols aboard WHOI R/V Atlantis in the western subarctic North Atlantic, 2015 to 2018 (NCEI Accession 0310822)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: August 03, 2026 at 05:15 AM | Dataset Last Updated: December 19, 2025 at 12:00 AM
This dataset contains physical, optical, and chemical properties of atmospheric marine aerosols from four different cruises aboard WHO R/V Atlantis as part of the NAAMES project. The dates of the four cruises are as follows: NAAMES-1 - 06 November to 29 November 2015 NAAMES-2 - 11 May to 03 June 2016 NAAMES-3 - 30 August to 23 September 2017 NAAMES-4 - 20 March to 12 April 2018 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; 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
