NAAMES

Project: NAAMES

Full Name: North Atlantic Aerosols and Marine Ecosystems Study

Platform/Location/Time:
4 campaigns starting in November 2015 on the NASA C-130 in coordination with a research vessel

Overall Goal:
NAAMES is a five year investigation to resolve key processes controlling ocean system function, their influences on atmospheric aerosols and clouds and their implications for climate.

What we are studying:
LARGE is measuring aerosol and cloud properties on both the plane and ship. This will allow for a determination of emissions of aerosols from the ocean, secondary aerosol formation and their interaction with marine clouds.

Some Cool Pics:
