Dropsonde observations during the Aerosol Cloud meTeorology Interactions oVer the western ATlantic Experiment
Abstract The Aerosol Cloud meTeorology Interactions oVer the western ATlantic Experiment (ACTIVATE) field campaign provides accurate data for aerosol characterization and trace gas profiles, and establishes knowledge of the relationships between aerosols and water. The dropsonde dataset provides an...
