Texas Air Quality - Gulf of Mexico Atmospheric Composition and Climate Study (TexAQS/GoMACCS): Physical, optical, and chemical properties of atmospheric marine aerosols aboard NOAA R/V Ronald H. Brown in the Gulf of America, 2006-07-27 to 2006-09-12 (NCEI Accession 0310784)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: May 06, 2026 at 03:43 AM | Dataset Last Updated: December 18, 2025 at 12:00 AM
This dataset contains physical, optical, and chemical properties of atmospheric marine aerosols aboard NOAA R/V Ronald H. Brown, collected 27 July to 12 September 2006 as part of the TexAQS/GoMACCS field campaign. The data is divided into eleven csv datasets, summarized as follows: Main - Navigation, Meteorology, Scattering, and Absorption; Chemistry - Aerosol species concentrations at varying particle diameters; CCN - Cloud Condensation Nuclei; AOD (x3) - Aerosol optical depth at varying wavelengths; DMS - Seawater Dimethyl sulfide; Radon - Radon Concentration; 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
